Puneet, by enclosing the niceslice terms in quotes, you are forcing them to be evaluated as strings rather than as Perl variables. Leave off the quotes.

Hi Folks,

I am struggling to understand the slice indexing syntax for $a- >slice( a:b:c ). I did this in perldl shell:

pdl> $a=sequence (3,10);p $a

[
 [ 0  1  2]
 [ 3  4  5]
 [ 6  7  8]
 [ 9 10 11]
 [12 13 14]
 [15 16 17]
 [18 19 20]
 [21 22 23]
 [24 25 26]
 [27 28 29]
]

pdl> p $a(1,0:9:2)

[
 [ 1]
 [ 7]
 [13]
 [19]
 [25]
]
and it worked like I expected it to.

I then put it in to my script

 foreach (0..5) {
 print $pic;
 $iob4 = $pic('0','$_:$picSize-1:6');
 print "iob4 is $iob4 of size ",nelem($iob4),"\n";
and i only get a single value - the first one:

[
 [5.7863319e+008 5.5061404e+008]

iob4 is
[
 [5.7863319e+008]
]
 of size 1
Where I expected to get the first column with every 6th entry starting from the first element in the column.
What am I doing wrong.


Also I have
use PDL::NiceSlice ;

in the script, I still need to use ' ' around the values when running the script in Windows (win32 ActiveState Perl 5.10). I am debugging it in Eclipse with the EPIC plugin, and have also tried it at the command line with the same results.



The single quotes are screwing up here. They are being evaluated as 0, so, in effect, your niceslice expression is becoming $pic(0,0)

Consider

my $pdl = sequence (3,10);
print "pdl: " . $pdl(1,0:9:2) . "\n";
my $c = $pdl('0','0:9:2');
my $d = $pdl(0,0);
print "c is $c of size ", nelem($c), "\n";
print "d is $d of size ", nelem($d), "\n";

I get
pdl:
[
 [ 1]
 [ 7]
 [13]
 [19]
 [25]
]

c is
[
 [0]
]
 of size 1
d is
[
 [0]
]
 of size 1
