( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thats great and thank you very much for your help. I have one further issue though. My existing code now looks like this

#!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; while (my $line = <STDIN>) { chomp($line); my ( $mon, $day, $time, $dom, $login, $remainder ) = split m{:?\s+}, $line, 6; my %monthNos = do { my $no = 0; map { $_ => ++ $no } qw{ Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec }; }; my $yr = q{2012}; my $csv = sprintf q{%02d/%02d/%s %s,%s,%s,"%s"}, $day, $monthNos{ $mon }, $yr, $time, $dom, $login, $remainder; say $csv; }

As I wanted the remainder to be in double quotes so it would read in as one field. The problem is that remainder sometimes already contains double quotes which I would like to remove or replace with single quotes

I tried the following but it leaves be with an empty set of double quotes

my $remainder =~ s/""\"\""/\'/g;

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
