Please do NOT (EVER!) edit a previously-created question or reply without plainly marking what's new with a note about the fact of your editing and <strike>...</strike> tags around deletions:

Added: "new text... and changed value of my $var at Ln 42, from 6 to 7

Note that you CAN NOT use markup tags inside code tag pairs but you can within most other markup... so, please, be vigilant about using strikeout tags around that which you're disavowing or deleting. Strike tag pairs render this way:

that which you're removing, changing, editing, emending, etc.

In this case, your edit removed the context for GotToBTru's reply. Yes, you provided clarification, but it makes a thread easier to read and understand if the edit info is with the original, and better yet, if you time-stamp your update note, so a careful reader can see if a reply pre-dates your change.

EDITED: fixed markup errors that I missed on preview.

In reply to Re^3: conditional string formatting by ww
in thread conditional string formatting by docdurdee

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
