I have a great deal of data that looks like the line below
"db file parallel write 8816 391 25.49"
The code to bring this into an array had a problem due to the spaces
in the test string "db file parallel write" I'd be happy to turn "db
file parallel write" into db_file_parallel_write (with underscores)
first then just split the string, but all of the regex I've tried so
far has had negative effects on the rest of the string with the
numbers.------------------------------
