dear perl gurus can someone suggest a design/approach on solving the following requirement:
there is a string, say $ss, that is contained in a longer string, say $ls. for example $ss = "jumps over" and $ls = "the cow jumps over the moon" how do you suggest obtaining a string from $ls that is $n characters to the both left and right of $ss? for example and using the above, say $n = 4 so the results would be "cow jumps ove" (notice 4 characters to both the left and right of the target text $ss. any approach would be much appreciated! mario sanchez _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
