I'm parsing a web form generated data set that looks like:
name: data
fname: data
time3:30-6:00: data
morestuff:
gunk-o-rama: data
The colons are followed by spaces or end of line, never tabs.
I thought that
($fieldname, $data) = split /: */;
would do the trick, but that ended up splitting the time entry at the first
colon.
Huh? '3' ne ' ' so what am I misunderstanding here?
And no, I did NOT design the web form that generates this.
