Question

I am trying to split the variable based on the blank line. the variable is

$s = "iSCSI cred number=0
name=match1
string=2
name=number1

iSCSI cred number=1
name=match2
string=3
name=number2

iSCSI cred number=2
name=match3
string=4
name=number3";

Answer 1

There’s nothing to it:

my @split_values = split/\n\n/, $s

Alternatively you can split on multiple whitespace characters with positive lookahead for the string iSCSI:

my @split_values = split/\s+(?=iSCSI)/, $s;

That works for your simple case, no matter if the whitespace characters are line feeds, carriage returns or spaces.
