Message-Id: <m773bu$ttu$1@news.albasani.net>
Hello,
I have a text file with lines:
key1 value1
key2 value two
key3
What is a good way to import this into a list, so it would be the same as:
%list = ('key1' => 'value1',
'key2' => 'value two'
'key3' => '');
Each line of the text file represents a key and optional value.
The separator is the first whitespace on each line.
In case there is more than one whitespace on a line, as on line 2, the
first boundary is the key while the remaining parts is the value for the
key. Or in case there is only a key, as on line 3, it's value becomes empty.
Many thanks,
Tuxedo
