Re: Photos
Dear all, I'm so sorry I wasn't able to make it on Thursday - I really wanted to go; but the wife was very ill and I decided to look after her instead. Fear not, nothing will hold me back from meeting you all for the first time at Februarys meet - any ideas where and what time? Yep - I'm one of them diary people, need to be in my work :) Phil On Sat, 11 Jan 2003 00:09:33 + David Cantrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/photos/london.pm/20030109 -- Phil. --- (_ ) UNIX is user-friendly,\\\, ) ^ it's just picky about its friends!\/, \( cXc_/_) ---
Re: Sorry - this is just a test
Dear all, Sorry for any inconvenience caused! I was having some problems with my subscription to london.pm and needed some way to check it was ok. The good news is that it's all sorted :) Sorry I wasn't able to make the meet yesterday; the photos looked intresting though! Am still set to meet you all (for the first time) next Thursday! -- Phil. --- (_ ) UNIX is user-friendly,\\\, ) ^ it's just picky about its friends!\/, \( cXc_/_) ---
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Dear All, Just hoped you had a great Christmas, and here's to a productive 'Perl' New Year!!! Phil P.S. I'm intent on making my first appearance at the January meet!
Sorry - this is just a test
Ok, Just to make it official:

Perl printer filter - dividing a line
Perlmonger friends, I'm going to be off-topic by actually being on-topic - yep, it's a Perl question... I am writing a Perl script to act as a filter for my FreeBSD's printer. It currently prints very well, however, I want to divide the STDIN by the number of characters it contains and place the results into an array. Specifically, 78 characters per item in the array - to include spaces, commas, \n, etc. It'll only ascii based data which is sent to this STDIN. What am I doing? Well, the printer can only print a maximum of 78 characters per line, so I want to break-up the line should it be greater that 78 characters, and output them one by one. Many thanks!!! Phil
Re: Hello London Perl-Mongers
Hey all!! I've had such a nice welcoming ... I think I'll stay! ;) Yes! I have been using the Spreadsheet:WriteExcel module to save me half the work! I recently bought the Camel book to help me on my way with learning! Thanks to all those who have welcomed me to Thursdays meet - I'd have loved to join you all - unfortunately, I'm pre-booked! Although I live in sunny Croydon, I have *EVERY* intention to attend the next meet! I'm a big fan of FreeBSD - so'll I'll probably wear my BSD cap so you can all point fingers at me! I'll keep an eye on the website for details ... but I'm sure you'll post something here too! By-the-way, does anything special happen at Christmas with the London.pm? A special pub meet? Just curious! Once again, thankyou for kindly welcoming me to the group! - Original Message - From: Kate L Pugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 11:19 AM Subject: Re: Hello London Perl-Mongers On Thu 28 Nov 2002, Philip Pereira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just wanted to say an offical Hello to everyone. Hi Philip, welcome to London.pm. Are you in or close to London? If so then you might want to come along to the social meet next Thursday. I'm trying to teach myself Perl - and think it's great! I've only been doing it for about 3 months, but it's already proving VERY useful at work - where I've volunteered to convert data from our Back Offfice Systems into Excel spreadsheets!!! It's saving a lot of people a lot of time. Cool, good to hear a success story. Are you using the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module or something different?

Hello London Perl-Mongers
Dear all, Just wanted to say an offical "Hello" to everyone. I'm trying to teach myself Perl - and think it's great! I've only been doing it for about 3 months, but it's already proving VERY useful at work - where I've volunteered to convert data from our Back Offfice Systems into Excel spreadsheets!!! It's saving a lot of people a lot of time. Anyway, enough rambling ... back to coding!!! Again, hello all!
