Re: Regex problem with .+ matching newlines without /s

[sleepingsquirrel]

Just for fun...

$_ = <<END;
recordID: blah
   fieldname: value
   foo      : 
   bar      : baz
END

for (split /\n\s*/)
{
    ($left, $right) = split /\s*:\s*/;

    #do stuff...
    printf "%10s:\t\'%s\'\n", $left, $right;
}

Don't forget to add a limit to split in case there are more colons than one in some line.
