Re^3: searching the strings

I've seen it in the Camel ("2.6. Statements and declarations", "Bare blocks and case structures"), so I thought it would be ok. Indeed I think it's ok since it is listed only as one of several alternatives (another one of which is the one you posted).

The alternative the grandparent suggested `print("error message\n"), next if /^>>/;` could easily be confused for `print("error message\n"); next if /^>>/;` I don't think it's a very good idea. At least what you used is well established. It is quite ugly, though. I usually fall back to if/elsif. if/elsif even produces shorter lines: `foreach (@w) { print "working with $_... "; if (/^>>/ ) { print "error message\n" } elsif (/^\s([<>])\s(\S+)/) { print "separated '$1' from '$2'\n" } elsif (/^\s\\|/ ) { print "pipefront\n" } elsif (/\\|\s$/ ) { print "pipeend\n" } else { print "\n" } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

++ but I have never been confused, nor have I seen anyone confusing `;` for `,` in this case. ~~PS: it was me, not GrandFather...~~	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I meant "grandparent post", not "post by GrandFather".	[reply]
