I was having the problem of pool names with spaces too until a friend of
mine showed me the pack/unpack funtions in perl.  I have a sample below:

## the $TEMPLATE variable is used to define the field (ascii character)
width
my $TEMPLATE = 'a7a8a10a15a8a60a12';
## @lines is the lines containing slot information from an nsrjb -Cv
foreach (@lines) {
## seperate the value:  field 1 - 7 ascii chars wide, field 2 - 8 ascii
chars wide, etc...
    my @l = unpack($TEMPLATE, $_);
## @l[0] is the slot number.  I use this as the hash identifier
    $ID=@l[0];
    $ID =~ s/://;
    shift @l;
## assign all the fields to a hash variable
    @{ $SLOT_INFO{$ID} }{qw(VOL USED POOL BARCODE VOLID STATE)}=@l;
}


This doesn't fix the fact that mminfo doesn't understand pool!="Offsite
Clone", but it has saved me a lot of silly grep -v or sed -e 's/
Clone/_Clone/' work from inside my perl scripts.

Well I could do it that way but there are complications. It's in a perl
script for a start. Piping the command into a grep is a bit messy,
although I could let perl do the filtering ( next if /Offsite/; ). Also,
some of my pool names have spaces in them. Yes I know that's poor style
but the spaces were there before I arrived. On top of that the query
will contain another field with spaces in - the save set name. So my
current code that does something like:

($nsavetime,$level,$totalsize,@name) = split;

will have to become a bit more complicated if the pool is in there too.
