Re: Parsing record into hash

[TedPride]

You didn't say what the record key for each record is, so I'm just adding the records to an overall array. I'm also not sure what the numbers inside the tags are for, so the following assumes that each tag is a key with no modifications.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my ($temp, @results) = '';

### Fast forward past header
while (<DATA>) {
    last if m/<eoh>\s+$/;
}

### While there are records remaining...
while (<DATA>) {
    $temp .= $_;

    ### Process if end of record tag reached
    if (m/<eor>\s+$/) {
        my %hash;
        $temp =~ s/\n//g;
        $temp =~ s/<eoh>.*//;
        $hash{$1} = $2 while $temp =~ /<(.*?)>([^<]*)\s/sg;
        push @results, \%hash;
        $temp = '';
    }
}

print Dumper(\@results);

Ted,

Thanks yet another way to do it. I love that about Perl. I appreciate the response and now have to read and understand what you have provided.

Thanks Mike
