searching for franken

[Frank]

Now you will need neither m//m nor m//s...

Tonight's reading in the camel book might be the best place to start with
regex's. It's chapter 5, and the camel book prefers to call the topic
"patterns."

So \ | ( ) [ { ^ $ * + ? . are the miscreants.

Not also ] / } /?

Pattern modifiers is where you get traction on this.

pg 147 :

The m//,s///, and qr// operators all accept the following modifers after
their final delimiter:

/i
/s
/m
/x
/o


# end excerpt

There's a lot of ways to get the m's and the s's backwards there.

m//m modifies the meaning of the "^" and "$" anchors. It is useless
on patterns that do not make use of those anchors.

Let ^ and $ match next imbedded \n.

m//s modifies the meaning of ".". It is useless on patterns that
do not make use of the dot metacharacter (like in the amended
pattern above).

Let . match newline and ignore $* .

Getting this deep into a thread before the subject of the article
correlates with the Subject of the article is plain silly.

Please exercise more care in choosing the contents of your Subject header.

I didn't know the url existed before yesterday. I disagree with your
opinion about the subject, and, as OP, think myself relevant.

Any ideas why this sig goes wild?

Tonight's reading in the camel book might be the best place to start with
regex's. It's chapter 5, and the camel book prefers to call the topic
"patterns."

Probably because they no longer meet the definition of being "regular".

So \ | ( ) [ { ^ $ * + ? . are the miscreants.

Not also ] / } /?

] and } don't become meta until they appear after their
corresponding opening char.

I am always thrilled whenever I need to match square bracket chars
because then I can write:

/[][]/; # which are meta and which are literal?


slash is not special in patterns, though it is often
special with the pattern match *operator*.

You can choose to use some delimiter other than /, then that
other character becomes meta (to the operator, not to patterns).

/\/etc\/passwd/; # leaning toothpick syndrome

can also be written:

m#/etc/passwd#;

to keep your eyes from crossing...


I don't know what you mean by the fourth one, "/?"...

Pattern modifiers is where you get traction on this.

pg 147 :

The m//,s///, and qr// operators all accept the following modifers after
their final delimiter:

/i
/s
/m
/x
/o

Wa' happened to /g ?

I like to use Damian Conway's mnemonic: gym sox (gim sox).

Let ^ and $ match next imbedded \n.

No, that is not correct.

Anchors are "zero width", they do not match _any_ characters (they
match positions instead).

^ and $ normally mean "match at begining/end of string".

with m//m, ^ and $ mean "match at begining/end of line".

I didn't know the url existed before yesterday. I disagree with your

My copy of perlrun says that perl.exe does exactly that: it reads
the shebang line and redispatches to the path stated there (unless
the word "perl" occurs on that line).

When Perl was young, this was useful on Unix versions that didn't
support shebang; these days it is perhaps useful on Windows.

Hope this helps,

But it can hurt.

If you do -w
and
use warnings;
, you have trouble.

Windows has no trouble located perl.exe. It's a very simple situation,
with target and platform the same, 1 machine, and one operator.

You're from right around there, maybe a scoch north. Because you've
written so much on usenet and our experience overlaps somewhat, I seem to
have read quite a bit about you including sailing in the first appropriate
body of water north of Franken.

They wouldn't let us go near the water, but one fine night in Hamburg,
Mister Minit took us to a sub sunk in the Nordsee.

The crescent moon rests above Venus. 3.3 hands right on the ecliptic is
