Yep, I'm stumped on what appears to be simple. Would anyone care to explain the following?
sflinux themes # echo 500 | perl -ple 's|(\d)|length(9 x $1)|eg;' 500 essentially, (\d) should match just the '5' in 500. that puts $1 == the literal 5. so you take length(9 x 5) which is nine repeated 5 times, and the length of that is 5. That replaces the 5 with a ... 5? Is my logic correct on this? thanks, - sf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
