[1,6,8..-1]
in this case "-" is seen as a metacharacter inside the character class and
is not seen as -1
Hi,
I have an unnamed array which I created from splitting up a colon separated
string:
$_ = "0th:1st:2nd:3rd:4th:5th:6th:7th:Some random text: might have
:colons: or might not"
print ((split /:/)[1,6,8]);
...but I really need to print everything after the 8th element. If the
array were named, I could do something like this:
@arr = split(/:/);
print @arr[1,6,8..$#arr]);
... and this would include everything after the 8th array element. I know
that -1 should start from the end of the array, but specifying [1,6,8..-1]
doesn't work.
I didn't see anything in perldata about it so I'm hoping someone has a
solution.
Thanks.
