Timo, perl6-users,
I don't want to print out the WHOLE text resulting from the match (in my
case a long file,) but just the /replacement/ string.
I'm sticking with syntax such as (which is also - for me - readable)
$layn ~~ s:g
/ (\W) [[RMA\.]? OpenNURBS\.]? I? On (<[2..4]>) dPoint
/{""if++$n;$r=
"$0Rhino.Geometry.Point$1d"
}/; say "$r $n $/" if $/;
[note that $r only appears once in the rule but both defines and effects
the replacement, and that {""if++$n; counts the replacements due to
:g ].
Still it would be more straightforward to have something like
$layn ~~ s:g/ (\W) [[RMA\.]? OpenNURBS\.]? I? On (<[2..4]>) dPoint
/$0Rhino.Geometry.Point$1d/;
and have a more perl6-built-in way of getting hold of the /replacement/ and
the count.
