Re: parsing a line

Hi,
So I tried something like this .It works !

if( $_ =~ m/ID\s=\s"(.*?)"\sDirAbsolute/){
print " Test ID is $1 \n" ;
}else{
print " FAILED to locate Test ID \n" ;
}

May be its crude way.

Thanks
Alok.

Hi,
I am parsing a file which has lines like this.
<Test Description = "Test 1" ID = "ID A1" DirAbsolute = "C:/perl"/>
Got stuck up while trying to extract values of fields called
Description, ID ?

What have you tried?
