Re: How to cut up a long line

Hi Todd,

~$ raku -ne 'put $/.join("\n") if m:g/ <?before  download> .*? <?before \> | \h+ > /;'  todd_test.txt
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.de.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.es-AR.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'

See: https://docs.raku.org/syntax/%24%2F
See: https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Lookahead_assertions

OR:

~$ raku -ne 'put $/.join("\n") if m:g/ <( download  .*? )> [ \> | \h+ ] /;'  todd_test.txt
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.de.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'
download='betterbird-128.6.0esr-bb20.es-AR.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2'

See: https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Capture_markers:_%3C(_)%3E

Let me know if this is part of a larger script, how you're obtaining the input line(s), etc., if you need more guidance.

HTH, 

Bill.
