Hi all,

example ...

|accrued=0|fee=0|commission=0|change_in_volume=0|
change_in_invested=4494367|change_in_accrued=0|

and I want to've another file so

accrued=0
fee=0
commission=0
change_in_volume=0
change_in_invested=4494367
change_in_accrued=0

Help me!

Please post some Perl code where you tried that already.

You mean, you have a string like:

my $fromfile = '|accrued=0|fee=0|commission=0|change_in_volume=0'
. '|change_in_invested=4494367|change_in_accrued=0|';

and you need to get the 'fields' between |...|?

You should apply a simple split

my @contents = split /\|/, $fromfile;

after which you may print the extracted contents
in the desired way:

print join "\n", @contents;

To suppress empty lines (coming from empty fields), write:

print join "\n", grep length, @contents;


Regards

M.
