Hello All, I was trying to write this perl program and got stuck with it. Basically, this program does the following [1] Get the list of files from the dir that matches the file search [2] Builds a string and calls another perl program (DBFTP.pl) which then FTPs the file. [3] Repeats [2] for each

Fortran can use any indices you want by declaring it as real foo(-10:10) and has been able to do that for years. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lee Goddard Sent: Sun December 22 2002 18:08 To: Carl Jolley Cc: Burak Gürsoy; ActiveState's

RE: Negative-indexed arrays?

2002-12-22 Thread Bill Royds -Perl
When doing something like this, the easiest way to do it is to create an indexing function negind as in following example #!perl -w my @array=(-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3); sub negind ($\@) { my $offset=shift; my @negarr=@{+shift}; my $indoff=$offset + int (scalar @negarr)/2- 0.5;

Negative Indexed Arrays

2002-12-22 Thread Carl Jolley
One approach to having a true-negative indexed array is by defining an object-oriented approach. A set of tied-array-based methods might provide the most natural approach. That should allow a transparent mapping of negative array indices onto a perl zero based array implementation while avoiding a

How much detail would you like, Mr Cernansky? I'm creating variable sized gaussian masks for image transformations. I'm currently using an offset to index, but I don't want to do that, as it's ugly to read. I'm only using Perl for prototyping a larger image recognition project, but perhaps that as

That was a really useful suggestion: thanks, Carl. Scoping it seems to be the problem. I'll have a look for a good CPAN search engine. Thanks lee At 23:35 22/12/2002, Carl Jolley wrote: I don't know of a module, however you might look at perldoc perlvar for the info on $[. This is the index of t

I don't know of a module, however you might look at perldoc perlvar for the info on $[. This is the index of the first element of an array, normally, and by default 0. However I don't see anything that says $[ can't be set to an arbirtary value. It will, however affect the index of the first elemen

>From the limited detail you're providing, it seems that perhaps a hash is actually what you want anyway. What are the minimum and maximum values of your indices? If you have a known min and max, you could create an array whose indices could be offset by a constant. But that seems like a big pa
