( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Id say you have got yourself into a situation of functional fixidity. Instead of using the list form of regexes, use the /g modifier with while. Its intended for exactly this type of scenario. Also, for your first question about splitting into triplets or what have you its probably more efficient to use unpack if you can. Im not sure but its possible 5.6 doesnt support the pattern grouping in pack formats.

D:\>perl -le "print $1 while 'aaabbcddddaee'=~/((.)\2*)/gs" aaa bb c dddd a ee
D:\>perl -le "print for unpack '(a3)*','atgactaatagcagtgg'"; atg act aat agc agt gg

Note the difference in approaches between using for and while. For expects the list to be preconstructed, while expects the list to be constructed as we go.

UPDATE: Apologies to thundergnat, I didn't notice his comment before i posted.

UPDATE2: To answer your question about eliminating every $N th element id say you have the right approach. I would do it via:

my @filtered=do { my $i=1; grep $i++ % $N,@unfiltered};

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
