Count how many times find and replaced happened

[blnukem]

Hi All

Is there a way to count how many times $Line =~ s///; has happened?

foreach my $Line (@ArrayToRead) {
$Line =~ s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/i;
}

Thank You

Use grep in scalar context:

my $count = grep s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/i, @ArrayToRead;

my $how_many_times = $Line =~ s///;

Use grep in scalar context:

my $count = grep s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/i, @ArrayToRead;

That's an interesting use of grep and s///.

My first thought was that he meant the number of substitutions, which
can be very different. That is,

my $count;
$count += s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/g for @array;

(note 'g' option)

/me shrugs...

foreach my $Line (@ArrayToRead) {
$Line =~ s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/i;
}

my $count = 0;
foreach my $Line (@ArrayToRead) {
$Line =~ s/TextToFind/TextToReplace/i and $count += 1;
}

You did? This is the third address you've used in the span of a few
weeks. Webmaster, indeed--I hope your webmaster skillz are markedly
better than your skillz "creating dynamic websites with CGI".

well, two of those email addresses are prefixed with "webmaster", but it
doesn't improve my webmaster skills.
