( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
255 characters, minus four for newlines. I could cut it down at least to 243 if it doesn't need -w and strict.

It's not beautiful, but it's much nicer than my first attempt:

sub assemble{my($f,$s)=splice(@_,0,2);return$f unless$s; $f=(sort{length($a)<=>length($b)}(c($f,$s),c($s,$f)))[0]; assemble($f,@_)} sub c{($_,$b)=@_;return$_ if/$b/;my $r='';while($b and$r=chop($b).$r and!(index($_,$b)>0)){}$_.$r.(length($b)==1?$b:'')}

Update: I see what the problem is. Luckily, a fix is even shorter. Here's one at 246 characters, minus four newlines. Removing -w and strict would put me around 230:

sub assemble{my($f,$s)=splice(@_,0,2);return$f unless$s; $f=(sort{length($a)<=>length($b)}(c($f,$s),c($s,$f)))[0]; assemble($f,@_)} sub c{($_,$b)=@_;return$_ if/$b/;my $r='';while($b and$r=chop($b).$r and!(index($_,$b)>0)){}$_.$r.(/$b$/?'':$b)}

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