Re: Issues with Split

[afoken]

my ($type, $restofstring) = /^type=(\w+) (.+)$/;
for $restofstring(split){

You are splitting the entire line read ($_), not what (.+) matched ($restofstring). And you are overwriting $restofstring.

You need a different loop variable, and you need to pass $restofstring as second argument to split.

Thanks, I am still trying to get this fixed based on your recommendations. I will update this thread once I make any progress.

Here is what afoken was talking about -- instead of this:

    my ($type, $restofstring) = /^type=(\w+) (.+)$/;
    for $restofstring (split) {
        my ($key, $val) = split /=/, $restofstring;
        $hash{$type}{$key} = $val;
    }

you should do this:

    my ($type, $restofstring) = /^type=(\w+) (.+)$/;
    for $token ( split ' ', $restofstring ) {
        my ($key, $val) = split /=/, $token;
        $hash{$type}{$key} = $val;
    }

Thanks a lot, this code works. Appreciate your help.
