Hello Monks,
Here is what I have. This isn't very clean and depends on the fact that there is only a single split. I'd like to clean this up and simplify it a bit. Note: It does work, but I think this can be simplified. Here is a sample of the code I want to modify

RR<9> vr<9> vr<8> 1.25126K $SUB=<*40>Vrefout $[PI]
RR<10> vr<10> vr<9> 1.25126K $SUB=<*40>Vrefout $[PI]
RR<11> vr<11> vr<10> 1.25126K $SUB=<*40>Vrefout $[PI]
RR<12> vr<12> vr<11> 1.25126K $SUB=<*40>Vrefout $[PI]
[download]

and here is what it should clean up to..

RR<9> vr<9> vr<8> 1.25126K $SUB=Vrefout $[PI]
RR<10> vr<10> vr<9> 1.25126K $SUB=Vrefout $[PI]
RR<11> vr<11> vr<10> 1.25126K $SUB=Vrefout $[PI]
RR<12> vr<12> vr<11> 1.25126K $SUB=Vrefout $[PI]
[download]

And here is my <it>kludgy</it> code

if ($line =~ /^R.*\$SUB\=\<\*\d+\>/){
  my @resline = split /=/, $line;
  $resline[1] =~ s/\<\*\d+\>/=/;
  $line = $resline[0].$resline[1]; 
}

I am pretty open to suggestions. Thanks much

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
