Hello Theo, have you considered placing the code for the actions directly inside the grammar's tokens and rules instead? You can just { make 123 } right in the middle and it'll have the same effect as doing that in an action method, but you'll be able to put code after it, too. HTH   - Timo

Re: EVAL?

ubs, even from the core, so subs like "die" and "exit" are reachable, but it's less dangerous than accepting any random code. For one, it will only work with subs that don't take arguments. HTH   - Timo

Re: mixin syntax: does vs but

You can override WHAT with a method, you just have to use a syntax that's not literally .WHAT, like this:     class Test { method WHAT() { say "i'm here" } }; Test."WHAT"();     # → i'm here

Re: need sort help

The last part of the puzzle is how sort will sort lists of lists (because it has now replaced every string with a list of the parts we've supplied); By default, sort uses the earliest entry in the list that is different, so it's very much like lexicographic sort. Does that explain everything?   - Timo

Re: need sort help

your list @x has only a single item, because you're slurping the whole file contents into it. replacing slurp with lines should do the trick. On 09/06/18 07:23, ToddAndMargo wrote: > On 06/08/2018 09:51 PM, Timo Paulssen wrote: >> That's unnecessarily long and complicated, here's how y

Re: need sort help

If you want to make it robust in the case of fields being different length, like having entries with the day as "5" instead of "05", you can put a >>.Int after the .comb(/\d+/) and that'll give you proper numeric sorting for all fields regardless of width. On 09/06/18

that was mentioned in another mail. why it wasn't actually shown, i have no clue :) Hope that helps   - Timo

Re: Need match character help

ably leads to an infinite loop (the regex engine tries to make you proud by matching it as often as it possibly can. which if the assertion is true, is infinitely often. it is very diligent, but it does not really think much about what it does). Hope that helps   - Timo On 17/05/18 12:51, Tim

Re: number of letters question

That is absolutely correct, thanks!

Re: number of letters question

I'd suggest combing for the regex instead of combing and then grepping with the regex: say + "abcrd-12.3.4".comb(//); though from the problem question it sounds a lot more like what todd wants is     my $input = "abcrd-12.3.4";     my $letters = $input.comb(/<[a..z]>/);     my $numbers =
