Re: I need help with IO.e

There are three possibilities for the.d test -- the file exists and is a directory, the files exists and is not a directory, and the file does not exist. The test needs to distinguish between these three cases. The documentation for .d states: Returns True if the invocant is a path that exists an

Hi Todd, Yes, ** stands for exponentiation. And exponentiation has higher precedence than multiplication. See below (I dropped a few zeros to help clarify): > put 2 * 10 ** 20 2 > put (2 * 10) ** 20 1048576 > put 2 * (10 ** 20) 2 > 20 **

Re: Matching subpatterns in any order, conjunctions, negated matches

This is pretty interesting, though I think you're talking about a different subject... I was talking about cases where the sub-patterns are more than one character long. It's true that if you were interested in single-character sub-patterns, then you could get close with character classes and nega

Re: Matching subpatterns in any order, conjunctions, negated matches

Yes, both of those work, and arguably they're a little cleaner looking than my conjunction approach-- though it's not necessarily any easier to think about. It looks like a pattern that's matching for three things in order, but the zero-widthness of the "before" let's them all work on top of each
