Question

I would like to know if there is an easy way for parsing a string like this

set   PROMPT = Yes, Master?

What I would like to do, is parse one part of this string up to the equal sign and parse the second part after the equal sign into another string.

Answer 1

Something like…

$phrase = 'set   PROMPT = Yes, Master?';
@parts = split /=/, $phrase;

or

($set, $value) = split /=/, $phrase, 2;
