my $namelength = 20; $text .= sprintf ("%-10s %-${namelength}s %-6s %10s %10s %s\n", qw(VMID NAME STATUS TIME SIZE FILENAME)); my $render_task_plain = sub { my ($vmid, $task) = @_; my $successful = $task->{state} eq 'ok'; $text .= sprintf("%-10s %-${namelength}s %-6s %10s " . ($successful ?

So I don't really see how we would benefit from the additional sub. > we could avoid the sub and the if by using the $size_conversion directly in > the format string? I personally would prefer this idea. Then we can still decide if we prefer 1. Short, but two format strings written out my $namelength = 20; $text .= sprintf ("%-10s %-${namelength}s %-6s %10s %10s %s\n", qw(VMID NAME STATUS TIME SIZE FILENAME)); foreach my $task (@$tasklist) { my $successful = $task->{state} eq 'ok'; $text .= sprintf("%-10s %-${namelength}s %-6s %10s " . ($successful ? "%10s": "%8.2fMB")." %s\n", $task->{vmid}, $name, $task->{state}, format_time($task->{backuptime}), $size, $filename); } 2. or a longer version. We could put all the decisions into the $fmt sub (idea thanks to Hannes). Then it's a little longer, but relatively easy to read I think, and has no two written out format strings. my $namelength = 20; my $fmt = sub { my ($successful) = @_; my $fmt = "%-10s %-${namelength}s %-6s %10s "; $fmt .= $successful ? "%10s": "%8.2fMB"; $fmt .= " %s\n"; return $fmt; }; $text .= sprintf ($fmt->(1), qw(VMID NAME STATUS TIME SIZE FILENAME)); foreach my $task (@$tasklist) { my $name = substr($task->{hostname}, 0, $namelength); my $successful = $task->{state} eq 'ok'; my $size = $successful ? format_size ($task->{size}) : 0; my $filename = $successful ? $task->{target} : '-'; $text .= sprintf($fmt->($successful), $task->{vmid}, $name, $task->{state}, format_time($task->{backuptime}), $size, $filename); } _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
