Hi,
I am not getting the results that I expect from this test and I am not
sure why. If I run the script below I get:
1..3
Line=???/FOO BAR, Name=Joe Smo M="???"
ok 1 - handle_name ???/FOO BAR
Line=change accordingly /FOO BAR, Name=Foo bar M="change"
ok 2 - handle_name change accordingly /FOO BAR
Line=GEOF KID/FOO BAR, Name=Geoff Kidd M=""
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
credit_handle.t line 33.
not ok 3 - handle_name GEOF KID/FOO BAR
# Failed test 'handle_name GEOF KID/FOO BAR'
# at credit_handle.t line 16.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.
The 'GOOF KID' entry is not getting handled correctly (or rather as I
want). It is being processed within the initial if() block. It was my
understanding that a failed match would mean control would fall to the
else statement. If I uncomment the 2 lines below, I can make it would
but I suspect there is something I am not seeing here. I have used
this construct a lot in the past and it's been fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanx,
Dp.
----------- handle_name.t ----------
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More tests => 3;
my %tests = (
'FOO BAR/FOO BAR' => ['change accordingly /FOO BAR', 'Foo bar'],
'JOE SMO/FOO BAR' => ['???/FOO BAR',' Joe Smo'],
'GOOF KID/FOO BAR' => ['GOOF KID/FOO BAR', 'Gooff Kid' ],
);
foreach my $test (keys %tests) {
my $got = handle_name($tests{$test});
ok( $got eq $test, "handle_name ${$tests{$test}}[0]");
}
sub handle_name {
my $arryref = shift;
my ($line, $name) = ($arryref->[0], $arryref->[1]);
$name =~ s/^\s+//;
$name =~ s/\s+$//;
my $regex = qr/^(change|\?*)/i;
# $line =~ /$regex/;
# if ($&) {
if ($line =~ /$regex/ ) {
print STDERR "Line=$line, Name=$name M=\"$&\"\n";
my ($nil, $rest) = ($line =~ /^(change\s+\w+\s?|\?*)(\/.*)/);
return(uc($name).$rest);
}
else {
return $line;
}
}
