Since Text::ParseWords is a core it should not be a problem to use it.

Here is my attempt:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::ParseWords; while ( my $line = <DATA> ) { chomp $line; my @fields = quotewords( ',', 0, $line ); my @lastfield; if ( index( $fields[-1], ',') > -1 ) { @lastfield = quotewords(',',0,$fields[-1]); $fields[-1] = shift @lastfield; } @fields = map { '"'.$_.'"' } @fields; # if quotes are obligatory print join( ',', @fields ), "\n"; while ( my $rest = shift @lastfield ) { $rest = '"'.$rest.'"'; my @temp = (' ') x scalar @fields - 1; # three spaces, # two of these because of quotes push @temp, $rest; print join(' ', @temp ), "\n"; } } __DATA__ "A","B","C","D" "A","B","C","D,E,F" "A","B","C","D" "A","B","C","D,R,T"

The output:

"A","B","C","D" "A","B","C","D" "E" "F" "A","B","C","D" "A","B","C","D" "R" "T"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
