Re: Nested grouping or capturing inside capturing

in reply to Nested grouping or capturing inside capturing

What if "data with spaces" is not necessarily the third (or nth) field?

To make your code more robust, try Text::CSV:

use Text::CSV;

my $csv = Text::CSV->new( { sep_char => ' '} );
my $fh = *DATA;  # Replace *DATA with your input file name

while ( my $row = $csv->getline( $fh ) ) {
  say join '-', @$row;
}

__DATA__
abc def data 123
ghi jkl "data with spaces" 456
"oh dear" "more data with spaces"
