Ok, a good strategy might be to break it up by the ( and ) characters first,
then further process the parts:
@part = split(/[()]/, $condstring);
This gives you a "shallow parse", which may or may not be a useful starting
point.

In the string below, it's from a parameter file.
I need to break it out by what's the longest string between the '(' and the
')'
and then the shorter strings between '(' and ')' , then the and/or's so I
can translate/process the logic.
the include_1 would be a condition name, and the f7/f10/f8 etc are field
names that are substrings of lines of data.

Sure Jay, I'm no guru but I use regex whenever I can.
What do you mean when you say "based on what is between '( )'"?

Looking at examples, not getting it done.
Any regex gurus out there that can give me a tip on taking a string and
splitting into groups based on what is between '( )'
So I can take condstring, split it into an array by whats grouped in (),
then take each element and split out the rest of the () groups.
i.e.
my $condstring="include_1 (f7 ne \'ce\' and f10 ne \'r\' and f1 ne
\'ce\'
and f8 ne \'lg\' and f8 ne \'li\' and f8 ne \'lj\' and f8 ne \'lr\' and
f8
ne \'lu\' and f8 ne \'lv\' and f8 ne \'tl\' and f8 ne \'ta\' and(f4 eq
\'e\'
or f4 eq \'g\' or f4 eq \'w\')) ";
@condarr = split /(\).*\))/, $condstring;
