Check whether all your data follow the same pattern and obey the same
constraints. Apparently you'r doing something in fields here, so:
$rawtext="1:action=commit:user=joe:date=2005-02-02:";
($no,$rawaction,$rawuser,$rawdate)=split(/:/,$rawtext);
# Treat each raw element like this:
($nil,$user)=split(/=/,$rawuser);
# Keep a hash for full user names (and for actions as well):
%users(
"joe" => "Joe",
"dan" => "Daniel",
...
);
# Build your phrase in free English, like:
print "On $date, user $users{$user} $actions{$action}...";
Hth,
Oliver.
