Another thing you can play around with is named input; I haven't used this
in a long time, but it seems to work, though I had to
get rid of your brackets first.

data set1;
infile cards missover;
input sample1=$ breakpoint=$ datejoin=$ grid=$ gridg=$;
cards;
Sample1="PC" breakpoint="XSR" Datejoin="1979-02-06" grid="A" gridg="0"
Sample1="PC" Datejoin="1979-02-06" grid="A" gridg="0"
run;

Subject: Breaking a xml tag into substrings


Hi all,

I am trying to use perl regular expression to break a xml string.I don't
have the schema and the xml mapper , hence I am unable to use the xml
engine.

But this is a sample string I am trying to break:

<Sample1="PC" breakpoint="XSR" Datejoin="1979-02-06" grid="A" gridg="0">

I cannot use scan or index here because the data varies from record to
record.

I tried using prxparse and prxmatch but it is not working the way I want
it to.

Any ideas?
