Re: Array function to concatenate

I'm sure there is a pretty solution with map but this is what i came up with. Using sprintf makes it easier to switch formatting as required.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my @Code = (404,408); 
my @Portal_Name = ("http://software.com","http://yahoo.com");
my @Text = ("Not found","Request Timeout");
for my $i ( 0 .. $#Portal_Name ) {
    $Portal_Name[$i] = sprintf "%s %s %s\n", $Code[$i], $Portal_Name[$
+i], $Text[$i];
}

for( @Portal_Name ) {
    print;
}

And the output is:

C:\Code>perl array_cat.pl
404 http://software.com Not found
408 http://yahoo.com Request Timeout

I'm sure there is a pretty solution with map but ... I'm not sure about pretty but it is fairly straightforward. In your code, as well as the slightly dubious use of sprintf, I wonder why you trample over `@Portal_Name` and use two `for` loops when you could have done a print (or even a printf if you insist) in the first loop. `use strict; use warnings; my @Code = qw{ 404 408 }; my @Portal_Name = qw{ http://software.com http://yahoo.com }; my @Text = ( q{Not found}, q{Request Timeout} ); print map { qq{$Code[$_] $Portal_Name[$_] $Text[$_]\n} } 0 .. $#Portal_Name;` [download] The output. `404 http://software.com Not found 408 http://yahoo.com Request Timeout` [download] I hope this is of interest.

Not seeing the advantage of sprintf here; perl would print it correctly anyway. Can you expand on why it wins (or e.g. why print fails)?	[reply]
