Title Body

In Perl, how can I use one regex grouping to capture more than one occurrence that matches it, into several array elements? For example, for a string: var1=100 var2=90 var5=hello var3="a, b, c" var7=test var3=hello to process this with code: $string = "var1=100 var2=90 var5=hello var3=\"a, b, c\" var7=test var3=hello"; my @array = $string =~ <regular expression here> for ( my $i = 0; $i < scalar( @array ); $i++ ) { print $i.": ".$array[$i]."\n"; } I would like to see as output: 0: var1=100 1: var2=90 2: var5=hello 3: var3="a, b, c" 4: var7=test 5: var3=hello What would I use as a regex? The commonality between things I want to match here is an assignment string pattern, so something like: my @array = $string =~ m/(\w+=[\w\"\,\s]+)*/; Where the * indicates one or more occurrences matching the group. (I discounted using a split() as some matches contain spaces within themselves (i.e. var3...) and would therefore not give desired results.) With the above regex, I only get: 0: var1=100 var2 Is it possible in a regex? Or addition code required? Looked at existing answers already, when searching for "perl regex multiple group" but not enough clues: Dealing with multiple capture groups in multiple records Multiple matches within a regex group? Regex: Repeated capturing groups Regex match and groupi
