Re^3: Challenge: Generate a glob patterns from a word list

> OP updated. Don't count the curlies and commas.

you should also add that curlies and commas should be minimal as a second criteria.

for instance a , {a} and {{a}} are all equivalent.

best you provide a ~~sub metric~~

sub cmp_glob($g1,$g2) which returns -1, 0 or 1 like cmp does.

> for instance a , {a} and {{a}} are all equivalent. Interestingly, we've found a place where Perl's glob behaves differently to the brace expansion in bash: `$ perl -wE 'say glob "{{a}}"' a $ echo {{a}} {{a}}` [download] `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I tend to side with the shell here. Braces which don't enclose a comma are not a glob pattern (for me). 🦛	[reply]

I disagree, behavior should be consistent. The glob could be constructed with a `$str = join ",", @list` part between the curlies `glob "$start{$str}$end"` and fail for `@list < 2` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
