in reply to parser for evaluating arbitrarily complex boolean function in a string
I hope it goes without saying that if you aren't this confident about the state of your input, your solution needs to involve parsing (and therefore validating) the input expression -- either explicitly, or by means of an existing modular solution.my $bool_func = "((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))"; (my $perl_expr = $bool_func) =~ s/([a-zA-Z]\w*)/\$val{$1}/g; print "Using perl expression: $perl_expr\n"; my @vars = do { my %seen; grep !$seen{$_}++, $bool_func =~ /([a-zA-Z]\w*)/g; }; for my $assignment ( 0 .. (2**@vars)-1 ) { my %val; $val{$vars[$_]} = ( $assignment >> $_ ) & 1 for 0 .. $#vars; my $result = eval $perl_expr; print join(", ", map { "$_=$val{$_}" } keys %val), " ==> $bool_func=$result\n"; } __END__ Using perl expression: (($val{S0}*$val{B})|((!$val{S0})*$val{A})) A=0, S0=0, B=0 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=0 A=0, S0=1, B=0 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=0 A=0, S0=0, B=1 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=0 A=0, S0=1, B=1 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=1 A=1, S0=0, B=0 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=1 A=1, S0=1, B=0 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=0 A=1, S0=0, B=1 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=1 A=1, S0=1, B=1 ==> ((S0*B)|((!S0)*A))=1
