Re: Ternary inside a regex

You can do that using the /e modifier:

$a = "size=1111"; 
$a =~ s/(\d+)/($1 > 5) ? 5 : $1/e; 
print $a, "\n"

Thanks, izut! Changed my code to the following and it works: `$message =~ s~\[size=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/size\]~($1 > 5) ? "<font size=\"5\ +">$2</font>" : "<font size=\"$1\">$2</font>"~eisg;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I think this way is easier to read: `message =~ s~\[size=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/size\]~"<font size=\"".(($1 > 5) ? +5 : $1)."\>$2</font>"~eisg;` [download] Igor S. Lopes - izut surrender to perl. your code, your rules.	[reply] [d/l]

Nice! I wanted to do that but didn't manage to - I didn't have the parentheses. Thanks :)	[reply]
