You need to know a little bit about the field names. For example,
if they're always a series of capitalized words with a space between
them, you can turn it into a hash like this:
$_ = 'Name: NEWYORK, MARSStudy Date: 04/20/2004 03:06 PM';
%myhash = split(/([A-Z][a-z]+(?:\s[A-Z][a-z]+)*:\s*)/);
If your field names are a little more flexible than that, you'll
need to adjust the regex in the split.
If you have regex questions frequently, I refer you to Friedl's
excellent _Mastering Regular Expressions_. You will deepen your
understanding immensely.
Good luck,
Joe
