question 1 solved, question 2 open
thanks for the immediate reply!

regarding the second question: this is the code of my function (which I call as labeling(2)):
Code:
      function labeling(startlabel_is_n_word) { # This function aims to extract the label of nodes/edges from the .dot file.
        sub("\",", " ", $startlabel_is_n_word);
        print  substr($startlabel_is_n_word, 9) #this prints the string starting with '[label="ActualLabel' as 'ActualLabel'.
        labelword=startlabel_is_n_word+1;
        if($labelword~/\"/) {} else {
        do
        {    
            labelword_cleaned = $labelword;
            sub("\",", " ", labelword_cleaned);
            sub("\\\\n", "\n", labelword_cleaned);
            print labelword_cleaned 
            if($labelword~/\"/) { 
            # This bit of code brings us out of here if we encounter an '"'.
            break}
            ++labelword;
        } while(labelword<80);
        }
    };

The relevant bit here is do {...}.
Thus, I want to apply this bit on each string, starting with $2 and ending with string $80.

My input looks like this:
Code:
    cset0 [label="How are members (not) exact?:\n2>assumption>approximation_improved",

awk transforms this now into
Code:
How
are
members
(not)
exact?:
2>assumption>approximation_improved

How would I need to rewrite this code to have as output:
Code:
How are members (not) exact?: 2>assumption>approximation_improved

Cheers!

locale::codes::langvar

Locale::Codes::LangVar(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::LangVar(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangVar - standard codes for language variation identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangVar;

	  $lvar = code2langvar('acm');		       # $lvar gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
	  $code = langvar2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

	  @codes   = all_langvar_codes();
	  @names   = all_langvar_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangVar" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language variations, such as those as defined in
       the IANA language registry.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
       registry codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language variations. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
       a constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lvar = code2langvar('arevela','alpha');
	  $lvar = code2langvar('arevela',LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of alphanumeric codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'arevela' for Eastern Armenian.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA".

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langvar2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langvar_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langvar_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langvar_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
