If you're really only going to be doing one column, but want it to be chosen by the variable $i, I'd suggest substr: $respective_read_letter = substr $read_seq, $i, 1;. If finding an optimum solution is important to you (ie, if you'll use this script many times for the forseeable future, rather than just once or twice where "fast engouh" is fast enough), then I'd recommend Benchmarking the substr vs unpack vs LanX's regex (and any others that are suggested). But whatever you do, make sure to use ++LanX's hash %count.

use warnings; use strict; use Benchmark qw/cmpthese/; use Test::More tests => 1; my @dataset = (); push @dataset, join('', map { (qw/A C G T/)[rand 4] } 1 .. 30 ) for 1 +.. 1000; my $i = $ARGV[0] // 10; sub test { my $fnref = shift; my $count; for my $read_seq( @dataset ) { my $letter = $fnref->($read_seq, $i); $count->{$letter}++; } return $count; } sub rfn { test( sub { my $skip = $_[1]; $_[0] =~ /.{$skip}(.)/; return $1; }); }; sub sfn { test( sub { substr $_[0], $_[1], 1; }); }; sub ufn { test( sub { ... # I'm no unpack expert }); }; cmpthese(0, { regex => \&rfn, substr => \&sfn, #unpack => \&ufn, }); is_deeply rfn(), sfn(), 'same results';

  • 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.
