in reply to Irregular Expressions

"... I am finding that, what used to be very simple in unix is slightly more difficult in perl."

Enter CPAN ;)

use strict; use warnings; use Quota; use DBIx::XHTML_Table; my @dev = qw(/var/mail /home); my $data = [map [Quota::query($_)], @dev]; my $header = [qw( block_curr block_soft block_hard block_timelimit inode_curr inode_soft inode_hard inode_timelimit )]; my $table = DBIx::XHTML_Table->new($data,$header); $table->modify(table=>{border=>1}); $table->modify(td=>{align=>'right'}); print $table->output;
UPDATE: i finally decided to 'bless' the add_cols() and drop_cols() methods that were currently undocumented. Grab the latest version of DBIx::XHTML_Table (1.30 at the time of this update).

By using add_cols(), you can list the device as well:

... rest of code untouched $table->add_cols({name=>'Device',data=>[@dev],before=>0}); print $table->output;

    Very Cool! Seems fairly simple afterall and much cleaner than regular expressions. I appreciate the example.
