ok guys,
i need a starter on this one.
have a file which looks like this
name: @a age: @b
gender: @c bla: @d blub @e
blabla: @f
and so on ...
the @ signs are placeholders for a template and mark the position for later
entries. they have always 1 alphanumeric digit, followed by either one or
multiple spaces or a new line.
after scanning the file, i want to end up in having a hash with the @ sign's
char as a key and the column and row in which it occured in the file as a
value, e.g. for above:
$pos{a}->{col}= 9;
$pos{a}->{row}= 1;
$pos{b}->{col}= 18;
$pos{b}->{row}= 1;
$pos{c}->{col}= 9;
$pos{c}->{row}= 2; ...
probably a regex can do this, but i don't know how to find out the position
on which a regex matched within a string, furthemore the multiple occurences
of placeholders within one line are causing me a headache ...
every help appreciated
TIA
till
