I prefer the explicit (?:…|…) structure that tells the reader that an alternate 
expression is being used. Also, the “zero or more” * operator can be very slow 
for long strings.

If you want to use this regex, then you should test it yourself. I did.

Well, that is not what is in your regex: you look for a decimal number
ending with 0 or 5, and it must be the last number of the line.

What about something simple like:

/(\d*[05])\D*$/

The Regex Coach is your friend (and works well under wine).

It alsways help to present with some sample data.

I expect it to return a positive value if $t contains a number anywhere within 
it and put that number in the $1 capture variable.

2019-09-08 Thread Mike



It's probably best if you write a short script
that reads a __DATA__ section of data.
Then tell us what it does and what you expected
it to do.

Off hand I don't see anything wrong with your regex,
but I don't know what you expect it to do.

Hi Lou,

You might want to make sure you're sending your email in plain text. 

Check your settings, if you're using Rich Text or HTML to format the email 
it might screw the pooch for you. That's a real old problem, but this might be 
real old software running this list.

Also, I found this on the faq page for this list:

Who owns this list? Who do I complain to?
John SJ Anderson owns the beginners list. You can contact him at

For the past year I have exhausted all options of e-mail format to opt out,
including your recommendations to no avail.   I must say that over 10 years
I have been involved with different e-mail lists and tech groups, but never
had such as poor service as this group.  Any other ideas would be

Lou -

Klamerus' frustration is not completely unwarranted. I answered that
question in my reply to the list - did you read it? If not, there are three
steps to take - fewer if you are successful.

1. Start an email from the account with which you subscribed to the list.
You MUST send your unsubscribe request from the email address by which list
mail is being rec'd.
2. Send a simple blank email from the account mentioned in step #1 to
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org 3. If you are not unsubscribed, please add in
your requests for further help (as simply saying it doesn't work does not
help people troubleshoot, as we all know too well):
a. the email - including headers - that you sent to
beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org
b. any replies you may have rec'd from the list server, especially
if they contain denials or errors.

There you go.

I am, c.,

Kristin

P. S. I take quite to heart the belittling attitude found on so many tech
lists. Bad attitude doesn't work from either direction, and yes, delivery
matters. This is supposed to be a cooperative educational community, is it
not? Sure, we should all RTFM, but some of us who have been forced to
learn-or-get-laid-off simply lack the formal training to know which term to
use in our search, or even to know which PERLDOC to read, have been shamed
into silence by cruel responses.  I am far beyond that now, but I remember
it well. Furthermore, this list contains quite a few for whom English is not
a first language. I am grateful to everyone here for being on the list and
helping those who come to it for assistance. We all get frustrated with
simplistic or repetitive questions, and people who don't even try should be
told to try first, but very little besides a bully's ego is helped by mean
replies. No?

Thanks again, all of you, really.

stop perl emails?

Taking a guess that you mean you want to unsubscribe from this mailing
list, each post from the list contains the following header:

List-Unsubscribe: mailto:beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org

Drop a blank email to that email address, and it should do the trick.

Cheers

It is really helpful to get the combinations without repetition. Then you

Unlikely, unless you are a bit more specific about what you are trying to do.

And even then, it's hard to help you to improve your code if you don't show

Hi chew23!

Welcome to the Perl world , Perl community and this list. You can find many 
resources and links to resources for Perl beginners on the Perl Beginners'

I hope you're going to like Perl 5 and will use it for years to come. [P6]

[P6] - Perl 6 is entirely different, and as good as it may eventually be, 
still does not have a production-ready implementation, nor does it intend to 
completely eliminate Perl 5.

 See you soon.

Well, you can blame the ghosts of the ancient Greek for thinking that 
introducing two parallel sets of letters - the uppercase and the lowercase 
ones was a good idea. Some alphabets such as the Hebrew Alphabet or the Arabic 
Alphabet only have one set of letters, and they work fine. That put aside, I 
still try to write in proper-case English and prefer to read properly-
capitalised English text, because I find it easier.

 FYI:  Perl is used for the language and anything related to it.  perl
 is the name of the program that runs Perl scripts.  If in doubt, use
 Perl.

My link explained that.

 
 Also, Perl mongers are advocates for Perl.  See http://www.pm.org/ to

Another thing - the word monger. Compare:

1. Fish monger.

2. Perl monger.

3. Hate monger.

In Hebrew 1 would be Mokher, 2 would be Shocher and 3 would be 
Mecharcher. If we called ourselves Mokhrey HaPerl or Mecharcherey HaPerl 
people will get the wrong idea.

The quickest way to do that in most browsers is right click on the
toolbar, select customize and remove the button from the bar.

If you mean disable it on browsers used to view your pages, you can't do
that and shouldn't even try. That button is a basic feature of the
browser and should always be available. I do know there is a javascript
trick that works on some browsers, but I consider that a bug that should
have been fixed long ago. I also file bug reports on any site that I
notice interfering with the use of back and forward buttons.

Another option is to add 'target=_blank' attribute to the anchor to
open the page in a new tab or window.

Do you get an error message? What does it say?

If there is no error message, perhaps you mean that, after the program
has finished running, you find that the shell is still using the
original working directory. That's a feature of your operating system,
not a bug. You can't change the working directory of another program
without that program's knowledge and consent, else programs would
unexpectedly find themselves working in the wrong directories and
wreaking havoc. This is covered in the Unix FAQ, question 2.8, among
other places; but the answer is about the same in principle on any
other OS.

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part2/
http://packetstormsecurity.org/unix-humor/awesome.unix.chdir.program.html

Check the documentation for your shell program, too, because it may
have a suggestion on how you can do what you want.

Hope this helps!

What is your indication of that?  How do you know the directory has
not changed?  Do you get an error message, and if so, what is it?   Do
you have some code below this later that proves you're not in /opt/
application?

Or do you mean that when your program exits, you are back where you
started the program from?  That is, you are in /home/jsmith, you run
this program, and when the program exits, you're still in /home/
jsmith.   If that's the error you're talking about, please read:

Re: Hi, how to extract five texts on each side of an URI? I post my own perl script and its use.

2006-11-14 Thread Jenda Krynicky

   my $text;
   for my $left_index (1..WIDTH) {
last if $start_index  $left_index;
  $text .= $texts_arr[$start_index - $left_index] . ' ';

 last if $end_index + $right_index  $#texts_arr;
  $text .= $texts_arr[$end_index + $right_index] . ' ';
   }
$text_hash{$url} = $text;

As far as I can tell this could easily be rewriten with no loops. If
I understand it correctly you want to get all the texts from
$start_index-WIDTH to $end_index+WIDTH so something like:


my $left_index = $start_index - WIDTH;
$left_index = 0 if $left_index  0;
my $right_index = $end_index + WIDTH;
$right_index = $#texts_arr if $right_index  $#texts_arr;

my $text = join( , @texts_arr[$left_index .. $right_index]);

should do what you are after. There are probable other things, but
this caught my eyes.

I don't know if this is faster, but it is a more accurate
solution. Your submitted code failed under some untested
circumstances. I created another page similar to the CPAN page you
used and fed it more complicated tests.

Chakrabarti placed relevance on distance from the link. I
changed your report to reflect this relevance. Instead of
squashing all text together, it now shows a report of text token
relevance. This change allowed me to test more thoroughly as well.
Here is the sample report for one link with multiple texts inside
the anchor.

 Can anybody tell me how to improve the running speed of this

 Below is the Chakrabarti's article:

If you give an example input url, the desired output of that url, and your 
slow but working code people might be able to help you.

Give a try to install XML::SAX::Expat and XML::Simple at first.


Did you see this?

Fatal error: Your default XML parser (XML::SAX::PurePerl) is broken.

There are known bugs in the PurePerl parser included with version 0.13
and 0.14 of XML::SAX.  The XML::Simple tests will fail with this parser.

One way to avoid the problem is to install XML::SAX::Expat - it will
install itself as the system default XML parser and then you will be able
to install XML::Simple successfully.  XML::SAX::Expat is also much faster
than XML::SAX::PurePerl so you probably want it anyway.


I'd install XML::SAX::Expat, then try again.  Good luck!

Whether or not you do choose to use a book or not, remember: always
try doing some excersizes. You *cannot* just read, you have to try it
firsthand. This is as simple as writing your first program that just
prints out ``Hello World'' to testing out the ugliest regular
expressions (you will eventually learn what these are). Remember, you
are just learning, and so you are free to experiment.

Good Luck!

Not necessarily. One of the duplicate words in a.txt is
the last line of the file. Does that line end with a new
line character? Many text files do not. If it doesn't, this
script will chop() the 'c' of the end of the word which
will not match the previous line with a 'c' because on that
line the line ending was chopped off. ('c' != '')

Also, we cannot tell from your example that there is no
stray white space in the files. The dated code you are using
does not check for line endings (it uses chop()) and it does
not strip for white space characters. The very fact that you
didn't mention white space characters in your message leads me
to believe they may be there.


: how to correct it ?

Rewrite it.

The script was probably written as a utility for a very
short term solution and was unlikely meant to be publicly
used or traded. The author does not verify I/O operations,
uses chop() where chomp() is more appropriate, has no error
checking, is not using lexical variables, and seems a little
unorganized.

My advice would be to check your data files first to be
certain your perceived errors are real errors and to stay
away from this script if you are planning to put this into a
production environment. Write your own script which follows
more modern perl standards and checks for stray white space
characters and missing last line line endings.

Here's a 3-line shell script I use to grep through the core documentation.

   #!/bin/sh

   grep -r $@ $poddir/*.pod

Example (on FreeBSD 5.4):

   $ podgrep -iwl gethostbyname

   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perlfunc.pod

   /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/pod/perltoot.pod

But I agree that a Google search like gethostbyname

Who are you expecting to do that?  Perl is developed by volunteers.  And
the number of active developers is vanishingly small compared to the
number of people who use Perl every day.

Volunteers generally work on what they find interesting or stimulating
or challenging.  This is not always the case of course, people have
their own motives.  Maybe you are sufficiently motivated to work on
improving perldoc?  It would appear that most people aren't.

Since Perl is open source, you have the usual options if you want
something done:

 1.  Do it yourself.
 2.  Get someone else to do it.
 3.  Wait.

Often the best way to get someone else to do something for you is to pay
them.  Yes, this is all a little simplistic, but the principles hold.

RE: hi

2005-10-11 Thread Timothy Johnson

Please respond to the list.  I'm not always available to answer
questions.

Now for your questions, loosely numbered:

1,3) You probably either included use strict or perhaps included some
other code that used strict.  That enforces the requirement to lexically
scope your variables, among other things.  

2) Lexically scoping your variables does not affect your ability to use
your variables at all.  It just means that they automatically get
created at the 'my' statement and destroyed at the end of the code
block.  If you do need a variable to exist throughout the entire script,
you can declare it at the top of your script or use 'our' instead of
'my'.

And finally, the question you didn't ask, but I'll answer anyway. I
would seriously recommend adding 'use strict' and 'use warnings' in all
of your scripts.  It can be a real pain at first when you're not used to
using it, but it can save you a lot of time in the long run.  Keep an
eye on the list and you can get a lot of good examples.  This question
comes up a lot with people who are self-taught.  I had to go back and
learn to use strict after coding for about a year, and I really wish I
had started sooner.




A few examples of how adding 'use strict' can possibly save you time:


1.  You're looping through an array, using a variable inside the loop.
Something fails and the variable doesn't get updated.  You don't realize
until hours later that all of your output is worthless because half of
the loops were just repeating the same value as the loop before it.

By declaring the variable using 'my' inside the loop, you can avoid this
because the variable will be automatically reinitialized each time.


2.  You can't figure out why your program isn't generating the expected
output.  You spend an hour putting debug statements throughout your
script, only to find that you misspelled the name of the variable in
your print statement.  Perl was happy to oblige you by creating a new,
empty variable with that name and printing it for you.

By adding 'use strict' to the top of your script, you can avoid this
because Perl will complain about the variable not being declared.


Check out 'perldoc strict' for more detailed info.

You need to declare each variable (scalar, array, or hash) with my

my @shrimp;

foreach(@shrimp){

Hi,
Can you post the whole script. Possibly you have declared 'use strict' 
in your code or it has been set default.
The problem is that the compiler is demanding explicit declaration of 
the variables that you have used.

declaring @shrimp as :
my @shrimp = COO;
and
foreach my $tuna (@shrimp)
{
   squid=substr($tuna,0,4);
   ...and so on
}

will eliminate the error.

 generates a score/number which needs to be subsequently input 
 into another file, how to you set up the output and input?
  Thannks a lot.

I'm not entirely sure I understood your question, but most
likely you're looking for a pipe open, i.e.

if( open( OUT, '|/some/command' ) ){
print OUT text is send to command;
} else {
  die open failed: $!
}

This is a complicated subject that is best explained by the

Let me try to reword it.

Do you have a Perl script that prints something to stdout and you  
want to redirect that output to some archive on disk instead of the  
console? If that's a right interpretation, do you want to do it from  
within the script or from the shell prompt?

To be specific, I think perl 5.8.2 comes with cygwin :-) You access perl

Or, if you put the path (#/usr/local/bin/perl on cygwin) you can run it as 
/path/to/script.pl (Remember though, if you're in the directory of the perl 
script, it isn't script.pl it is ./script.pl)

If you have already been coding Perl on a Windows system (just assumed your 
on a Windows system because you got cygwin) it doesn't take too much getting 
use to since you've had to learn Perl for Unix and then figure out to exceptions 
for Windows. cygwin is a relief after you've been fumbling with mc and

Won't a two-liner do? You've already written it if so, except
that square brackets in the replacement string don't need
escaping; a one-liner is possible but much less efficient. Also
you don't need the 'if'. Does the code below help? I've also
changed the s/// delimiters to brackets to avoid the mess that
the slashes and backslashes make.

  my $value = '[hello]';

  for ($value) {
s(\[)(\\[)g;
s(\])(\\])g;
  }

  print $value, \n;

**OUTPUT

  \[hello\]

Alternatively, if it's OK to escape all non-alphanumeric characters
then 'quotemeta' is what you want.

  my $value = '[hello]';
  $value = quotemeta $value;
  print $value, \n;

**OUTPUT

  \[hello\]

A one-liner is not necessarily better. You might want
to test. The substitution operator has a pattern on the
left side and a replacement string on the other. According
to 'perlop' it takes this form:

  s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimosx


Let's take a look at your phrase:

s/\[/\\\[/


The PATTERN is '\[' and the REPLACEMENT is \\\[. I
put the REPLACEMENT in double quotes because that is how
it is most commonly interpolated. To print '\[' we need
\\[ on the REPLACEMENT side.


The PATTERN side views '[', and ']' as special
characters. So we need to escape them or we need to use
some other means to describe them. To look for more than
one we can place them in a character class: [\[\]] or as
[\][] then capture the one we match: ([\][]).

  s/([\][])/\\$1/

We could also avoid the character class and use:

  s/(\]|\[)/\\$1/


To capture multiple instances in the line we add 'g'.

  s/([\][])/\\$1/g


And to make it easier to read we add x:

$value =~
s/  # start substitution
(   # capture match in $1
[\][]   # character class for [ and ]
)   # end capture
/\\$1/gx;   # replace with \[ or \] globally


Having said all this. I would still prefer Rob's
solution with two separate regexes in a 'foreach'.

I must confess that I find it rather ironic that you

that you start with
	perldoc Getopt::Long

One of my more demented variants is up at:
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perlTrick/CommandLine/ 
do_get_opt_long.txt

But what I think you will really want to get in touch with
is the idea of a configuration file, either as a 'default
preference' file, if this is really going to be an application
layer programme - or in the more traditional set of issues
related to writing daemons and configuration files for them.

Is it more Perl-like to get information from the shell via UNIX 
Environment Variables or via the command line? For an example, I have 
writing a Perl program which reacts to messages sent to it. It has four 
input parameters. The current program gets this information, which is two

E.g.

Although my current code uses the first way, I'm beginning to think that 
the second is preferrable because it would be more portable to non-UNIX

Why not just make DIR1, DIR2, IPADDR AND IPPORT global variables within
the script, rather then requiring user to set env variables, which can
become a pain in the ass.

Your best bet would be to set them to some default variable, and then if
the user needs to, she can override the default values by passing the
new values as parameters. Hope that helps.

RE: Hi a question

2003-12-26 Thread Harvey, Bruce T.
I'm not a 'perl' pro, but I am a pro at using different shells, programs and
so on in different environments.  

It depends on the environment in which you're running.

For example, running on some type of *NIX at a command line, you might very
well want command line options so that people and scripts can easily change
the arguments (it is a pain to change environment variables ... more typing
and saving and exporting and what not).

However, if your perl script is called from other perl scripts (since people
aren't typing it), you may want to change the environment.

Of course, you may want to hide the arguments, in which case, variables in a
file readable by the script would be the choice, so that no one could see
the arguments (*NIX ps -elf) or the environment (*NIX ps axe).

IMHO, it really depends on what the best use is ... how much a pain ...
what's the protection ... do different people need different environments
but NEVER change it once they have that environment (the case for
Environment variables) ... etc.

I don't run much under M$ Windows, but that may very well point you in a
particular direction, based on what's easily available.

Hi John,

I'd suggest that both approaches can be somewhat lacking in portability.  The
command line is something of a kludge, IMHO, as it still depends largely on
users typing in the correct parameters.  I think ini files would be portable
across a much wider variety of systems.  Just write the ini file per
installation configuration.

 Hi John,
 
 I'd suggest that both approaches can be somewhat lacking in portability.  The
 command line is something of a kludge, IMHO, as it still depends largely on
 users typing in the correct parameters.  I think ini files would be portable
 across a much wider variety of systems.  Just write the ini file per
 installation configuration.
 
 Joseph
 

Actually, I considered an ini or cfg file, but rejected it. I was 
wanting something more standalone in this case. First, it seemed a bit 
much for only 4 parms. Second, I didn't want to maintain a separate file. 
Third, I didn't want to parse an ini file, although there is likely a 
CPAN module around to do that. And I already use LWP::UserAgent and 
HTTP::Request::Common, so requiring another CPAN modules is not really a 
big deal. I really appreciate CPAN!

 Thanks I got a solution.

Please reply in the original thread that you started.

 I was doing a silly mistake.
 chdir I was executing thro' system command like cd.

When you do that system creates a new process and any changes you make
in that process do not affect your currently running program.

RE: Hi guys! How do I export a bash variable into bash environment?

 All of the repositories are on a single server. Here's my logic.
 
 # Open the CVS root directory (Where all the repositories will be stored

 CVSROOT
 # Export that path to bash environmental variable CVSROOT
 
 Cool? Probably not, but i'd still like to know how to export a variable in 
 bash through perl. I've tried a few things like creating a bash script *.sh 
 and the sourcing it through system('source whatever.sh'), but it always 
 claims that source isn't a correct command. Cool?
 

This has been asked before and I am not sure a good answer was ever found. Just a 
couple of thoughts, exporting the variable in one 'system' call and then doing another 
'system' call does the system calls in two different instances of the shell (which may 
or may not be bash) in which case it is not visible from one session to the next.  
'source' is a builtin in the shell, and may or may not be available in the shell that 
'system' uses, for instance Perl I believe will default to /bin/sh which may or may 
not be bash on your particular OS, or even on your particular instance of that OS (say 
if you setup a symbolic link from /bin/sh to /usr/local/bin/bash, though don't do that 
unless you know what you are doing) and may or may not implement 'source'.

So where does that leave you?  I suppose trying something like this (which I suggested 
before but never heard back on):

system('export CVSROOT=/path/to/cvsroot; /bin/othercommands');

However if you want to just have a script that sets these types of things, you are 
probably better left at using plain old shell script rather than using the overhead of 
Perl to do non-Perl stuff.

Make sense anyone?

source is a csh thing. For Bourne-type shells you use a dot:

   . whatever.sh

There's really no way to set the environment of the parent process from the
child. You can do something cutesy like the following:

   File: menu
   --
   perl menu.pl  . /tmp/menu.out


   File: menu.pl
   -
   #!/usr/bin/perl

   ...code to figure out cvs root...

   open TEMP /tmp/menu.out or die $!
   print TEMP CVSROOT=$cvsroot; export CVSROOT\n;
   close TEMP

Now you can call your menu as:

   . menu

If you don't use the dot it won't work. You could use an alias.

You could also use

return $_[0] !~ m/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/;

or

return $_[0] =~ m/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+\Z/;

the last one is clearer to me because you eliminate all of the negatives.

there for /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ but i am unable to find a
valid command for that, the \n always passes, i
definity do not want to use execption on what o do not
allow, i want only to allow some caracters
invalidating all others...

here what i have tried

if ( $STRING =~ /[a-zA-Z0-9]/ ) { etc }

my $count = ( $STRING =~ tr /a-zA-Z0-9// );

all failed...

You bind the server socket $to 192.168.1.2, but your client attempts to
connect to 192.168.1.3

Does the server have two interfaces or is 192.168.1.2 the client's IP? If
the former, then change your client to connect to 1.2. If the latter, change
your server to bind to 1.3 (or leave off LocalHost altogether, to bind to
all interfaces).
