categorized question QandAEditors I have a text file that is composed of sections each with the same headers; e.g.; <code> TI: some lines AU: some lines JN: some lines </code> The section is then repeated for a number of "hits" What I want to do is grab each section and place it into a hash with the section headers as keys. any ideas? P.S. I'd rather not use the split function 1835 3
