Re^4: Better Way of Manipulating Array Elements

You are missing that he want's a blanks after the commas.

That's not what he said ("join all the elements by a comma"), and that's not what he's currently doing (print join ",", @z;). Trivial change either way.

I improve (golfwise) to [...] unless eof

Good, but
if !eof is even shorter (6 from 10) and clearer.
if !eof() means something different and might be desirable.

But since capturing a literal regex is silly

I doubt the OP is really matching "d".

print join ", ", map { chomp; s/(d)/new(\1)/ } @a; I was just looking at that - but you are right about the blanks - 1:0 for you. if !eof is shorter and clearer. Damn it you are right again - 2:0 for you. defeated :-) if !eof() means something different and might be desirable My previous post was not really meant to be taken seriously - so it's even better that I learn something here - many thanks!

print join ", ", map { chomp; s/(d)/new(\1)/ } @a;

if !eof is shorter and clearer.

*defeated* :-)
