I am trying to parse a word list that looks like this:
dog epithet mannerism ...
From this list, I would like to extract all unique grapheme contexts for a user specified grapheme, with a user specified context limit. The code below does this for the first occurrence of said grapheme, but I don't know how to run the action multiple times on the same word (e.g. the two 'e's in epithet). Here is the meat of what I have so far, which works fine for the first occurrence of the grapheme.
# $num = user specified context maximum # $graph = user specified grapheme to search for # note: this also holds the examples corresponding to the # given context. while(<INPUT>) { chomp($_); if( /$graph/ ) { ($front, $back) = /(.{0,$num})$graph(.{0,$num})/; $con = $front.'_'.$back; push( @{$graph_contexts{$con}}, $_); } else { next; } }
