in thread text extraction question

Whoops ... you're absolutely right!

My brain directly converted it from "no" to "number(s)" on input (as in and 8 8 512 numbers), so I didn't even look to see if it was part of the string.

I guess that validates blue_cowdawg's comments all the more, as far as the original question being a little bit vague.


s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

    Yes, very vague and somewhat counterintuitive. To me, NM suggests numbers and CH suggests characters. However, the example given seems to suggest that NM is a single digit and CH is two or more digits; yes|no seems a reasonable guess for SW if it means switch. blue_cowdawg definitely hit the nail on the head.

    It would be nice if echoangel911 clarified what was meant.

    Cheers,
