in reply to Re^2: Can't remove directory-Permission denied (knot)
in thread Can't remove directory-Permission denied
I'm not unsure that it isn't impossible to avoid not including more negations without having to avoid a lack of not trying.
Clarity itself to a logician, certainly, but — on the offchance that some following along at home might need a little help — let Perl elucidate:
#! perl use strict; use warnings; my $str1 = "I'm not unsure that it isn't impossible to " . "avoid not including more negations without " . "having to avoid a lack of not trying."; my $str2 = $str1; my %negs = ("not un" => "", "it isn't im" => "it's ", "avoid not including" => "include", "without having to avoid" => "by", "a lack of not" => ""); # Collapse double negatives while (my ($key, $value) = each %negs) { $str2 =~ s/$key/$value/g; } # Remove extra spaces $str2 =~ s/\s+/ /g; # Display the translation print "$str1\n\n-->\n\n$str2\n";
(Is there anything Perl can’t do?)
