Yet Another List to Range function. The two I'm aware of on the site didn't work for me. one doesn't handle numbers that begin with zero and the other seems to have a bug. Takes an array and in list context returns an array. In scalar it returns a string. Ranges are separated by \s-\s so that you can easily split them without worrying about confusing them with negative numbers.
Handles numbers that begin with 0 as well. If not ints, makes a weak effort to handle fractions intervals. If your numbers are fractional and normalized, it should work ie ( 0.5 0.6 0.7)
(0.1 0.2 0.3) # Will work (0.1 00.20 0.3) # Won't work

Changed description
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; sub list2ranges { my @list = sort {$a<=>$b} @_; my $current = $list[0]; my @ranges = ($current) ; for (my $i=1;$i <= @list; $i++){ if ($list[$i] && $list[$i] - $current == 1 || $list[$i] && $li +st[$i] - $current < 1 && substr($list[$i],0,-1) eq substr($current,0 +,-1) ){ $current = $list[$i]; } else{ $ranges[-1] .= " - $current" if $ranges[-1] != $current; $list[$i] && push @ranges, $current = "$list[$i]" ; } } return wantarray ? @ranges : join(", ",@ranges); } # Examples my @test = (qw( 01 2 3), 5, (7..9), (11..12), (17..19), 20, 30, qw(30. +1 30.2 30.33 30.34 30.35)); my @ranged = list2ranges(@test); print join(", ",@test)," \n"; print join(", ",@ranged)," \n"; print scalar(list2ranges(@test)),"\n";

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.
