Weird Regular expression.
Hello fellow scripters!
I've come across weird regex like this: (.{4}).(.{21}).(.{3})..(.{3}).
(.{10}).(.{9}).
Has anyone any idea about the syntax of these regex? Thank you for
your help.

Win32::OLE help for saving file.
Hello fellow scripters!! What stumps me is pretty straight forward. I need to save a Word file using Win32::OLE, but I need to replace an existing file if there is any. What properties do I have to set before calling SaveAs() to do that? Any help is appreciated.

Need help for writing attachment saver
Hi! I'm trying to write a code to read mail from POP3 server and then save the attachment in specified folder. I checked the Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper which needs to be initialized with Email::MIME object. I checked the Email::MIME module but I couldn't understand how to read mail and create new Email::MIME object. Basically I need code for reading mail with Mail::POP3Client module then create Email::MIME object and then pass it to Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper. Or is there better way to receive mail and save attachment? Thank you all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/

Creating an array of hashes from a database while preserving order
I am creating a phone directory and would like to display the entire
contents of the database ordered by last name utilizing the
HTML:Template module. I am not sure the code that I have so far will
work as I have planned as this is my first time ever using an array of
hashes. How can I be sure, using the code that I have so far, that my
order by last name will preserved once displayed in the template???
Here's my code:
sub displayphone {
#Retrieve current state of the object
my $self = shift;
#Shortcut to return a reference to an array of hash elements
my %attr = ( dbi_fetchall_arrayref_attr => {});
#Preparing the template and substitute the values
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename =>
'displayphone.tmpl');
$template->param(ROWS => $dbh->selectall_arrayref("SELECT * FROM
directory ORDER BY lastname", \%attr, $value),);
#Display results
return $template->output;
}
Thanks in advanceI am a Perl newbie,

Brilliant !!!
I'll try this.. But this makes very good sense.. and should work quite well
for me :)

Adding ID numbers to names
Hi..
I have 2 files of data..
File 1 = id,name
eg:
0001, J Smith
0002, J Smithers
0003 J Smith Thomas
File 2 = general text, with names recorded at different locations..
eg.
This is random text for with J Smith, J Smithers and J Smith Thomas
I am trying to replace all J Smiths with J Smith 0001 and J Smithers with J
Smithers 0002, etc...
I cannot use:
for ($i=0;$i<=$#id;$i++) {
$randomtext =~ s/$name[$i]/$name[$i] $id[$i]/g
}
This does not give the desired result... Gives names with dual IDs, or
incorrect IDs..
Any hints on how I can solve this..
Thanks
Ash

Hello,
I'm trying to learn and use the patterns. This is my first "serious"
try with perl.
I have a long list of words and phrases that I need to find.
Let's take this example. I want to find this patterns anywhere, no
matter if there are followed by other characters:
Central PendingCall object
PendingCall.getOutputParameter
PendingCall.getOutputParameterByName
PendingCall.getOutputParameters
I have been trying this:
pattern="m/Central PendingCall object/"
pattern="m/PendingCall.getOutputParameter/"
But the last one it shadows PendingCall.getOutputParameterByName
So I tried this, but I'm not sure what this is doing:
pattern="m/\bPendingCall.getOutputParameter\b(?!B)/"
I want to find my patterns always, with repetitions.
I have been following this tutorial
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlretut.html
But now I need help with the code because I'm lost and I need to send
my code.
First let me say I'm a beginner myself so the following is not
necessarily best practice but it works. I'm sure someone will give you
a better solution. It would be easier to help if you would have posted
code but I've taken a stab at what you are trying to do.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
while () {
print "$1\n" if m/\b(Central PendingCall object)\b/;
print "$1\n" if m/\b(PendingCall.getOutputParameter)\b/;
}
__DATA__
Central PendingCall object what the
PendingCall.getOutputParameter add this
that is the truth PendingCall.getOutputParameterByName
Central PendingCall object the
PendingCall.getOutputParameters
Adding a line here
PendingCall.getOutputParameter
__END__
I think only one line really needs explanation here.
print "$1\n" if m/\b(Central PendingCall object)\b/;
"$1" contains the matched text in () "\b" defines a word boundary.
Hth,
Kent
