-- Peter Dueber <peter at hivnet.fhcrc.org> spake thusly:
> Anyone have a good technique (maybe using map?) to take a string
> (with embedded new-lines) like the following:
>
> $x = "
> 'xyz' = '/export/home'
> 'adfd' = '/usr/there'
> 'ddddd = '/someplace/else'
> etc";
>
> and directly convert it to a hash equivalent to :
>
> %hash = ('xyz' => '/export/home',
> 'adfd' => '/usr/there',
> 'ddddd => '/someplace/else',
> etc.
> );
%hash = map { /'(.*)' = '(.*)'/;
defined $2 ? ($1, $2) : ();
} split "\n", $x;
Modify the regexp as needed for your particular input.
