in reply to Re: Programmatic regex disjunction
in thread Programmatic regex disjunction
my @pats = /one/, /two/, /three/; say "matched" if $string ~~ any @pats;
Then again, Perl 6 Rules have better composition, uh, rules, so there's likely a way to do it without a junction. One reason to insist is that where
$string ~~ any @pats
matches,
my $any = any @pats; $string ~~ $any;
does not. This means that I can't use a junction and a precompiled disjunctive pattern interchangably e.g. in a given block:
given $string { when $any { ... } # won't work if $any is a junction }
At least, that's how it operates now; I'd better ask on p6-l if that's the desired behavior. :-)
Update: come to think of it, it's almost certainly a pugsbug.
