Hi all!
From http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/substr.html:
substr has a 4th argument (or you can use substr as an lvalue) for replacement.
substr EXPR,OFFSET,LENGTH,REPLACEMENT
From http://doc.perl6.org/routine/substr I don't see any way to do a
replacement. What is the idiomatic way of doing a positional string replacement
in Perl 6? Thanks!
Method form:
$ perl6 -e 'my $s = "abc"; $s.substr-rw(1,1) = "z"; say $s;'
azc
Function form:
$ perl6 -e 'my $s = "abc"; substr-rw($s, 1,1) = "z"; say $s;'
azc
I also do not see substr-rw in doc.perl6.org.
It needs to be added.
In the meantime, you can find it here:
