Hello all,
I have been beating my head against the wall for a
while trying to extract some data.
Here is the following data:
<SNIP>
My goal is to put all data after each colon into a
variable.
I don't have any problem with Data 1 through Data 4.
My problem is when I get to Data 5:, I can't figure
out how to put the data into a variable.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %data;
my $cache;
while (defined( my $line = <DATA> )) {
chomp( $line );
if ( $line =~ /\w+:/ || eof(DATA) ) {
$cache .= $line if eof(DATA);
my( $k, $v ) = split( /:/, $cache, 2 );
$data{$k} = $v;
$cache = '';
}
$cache .= $line;
}
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper( \%data );
__DATA__
Data 1: data1
Data 2: data2
Data 3: data3
Data 4: data4
Data 5:
data5 data5 data5 data5
data5 data5 data5 data5
data5 data5 data5 data5
