Hi, I have a list of the following format that I want to parse:-
((sa1 da1 sp1 dp1 p1) (sa2 da2 sp2 dp2 p2) .... (saN daN spN dpN pN) ) there are N entries. There are many such lists and N varies in each list. One way to parse this is to use brute force and use sth like the following for each tuple (for simplicity let's assume there are only two elements, x and y, instead of five):- /\(\s*(\S+)\s*(\w+)\s*\)(.*)/ This will yeild x=$1, y=$2 and remainingTuples=$3. I can put this in a loop until all tuples are parsed. I was wondering if there is a single-shot method of parsing the whole thing. Any comments or ideas are appreciated. thanks in advance, manish -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
