Re: my first two doc issues

Since you continue to insult the maintainers, I will step in to defend them: the response you got to 145 was perfectly reasonable. You were told that you opened it in the wrong place, which you argued with, and you were told where you should have opened it instead, which you ignored. The problem

Re: Is there a bash/shlex-like processor with double-quotes handling?

If you haven't yet, you might want to look into a CSV parser. I think that if you configure one of those to split on whitespace, that should give you the results you want. (Now with added reply all.) On Fri, 14 Jul 2017, 08:42 Mark Carter, wrote: > Is there a function

Re: How to I create a file?

> $PathAndName.IO.f or $PathAndName.IO.open(:w).close; Note, the following sequence is possible: 1. .IO.f returns false 2. Someone creates the file and writes some data to it 3. .IO.open truncates the file Thus, this has a chance of editing the file. I suggest instead (untested):

Re: order of input using Capture

You're passing `a` as a named arg, and `e` as a positional arg. .list only returns the positional args, and .elems only counts those. You can use .hash to get the named args. Alternatively, if you replace `a=>1` with `(a=>1)` or `'a'=>1`, it should show up in the .list and .elems counts. See:

Re: release?

Note that if we want scripts to be interpreter-agnostic, the perl6 binary needs to exist for #! purposes. So renaming it would be bad, but a simlink would work. On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 2:27 PM Brock Wilcox wrote: > On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 11:39 AM, webmind

Re: grep changes?

Grep still accepts a regex, so `grep /\.pl6/, ` does what you want. On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 5:12 PM mt1957 wrote: > Hi, > noticed that grep doesn't accept a Match operation anymore > In repl ... > > > grep { /\.pl6/ }, > Method 'match' not found for invocant of class 'Any' >

Re: Default args in custom constructor

Oh, I'd been intending to explore that before sending but forgot. Thanks. I currently think that's the best alternative to duplicating defaults, but still more verbose and less intuitive than I'd hope for. On Sat, Sep 5, 2015 at 12:57 AM Timo Paulssen wrote: > Have you

Formatting in Pod declarator blocks

Synopsis 26 http://design.perl6.org/S26.html#Declarator_blocks says of declarator blocks: A declarator can have multiple leading and/or trailing Pod comments, in which case they are concatenated with an intermediate newline when their object's .WHY return value is stringified But the current

Re: Bag with explicit 0 elements?

So FWIW, I think the interface I'd like to use is one where there's nothing special about 0 values. You can put them in and they'll stay there, and if (+) results in an element with value 0, that stays there too. But if you ask for the value of something which doesn't have an explicit value,

Bag with explicit 0 elements?

I'm trying to represent something of the form I've chosen one member of this group, three members of that group, and nobody from the other group. A Bag seems right for this, except that if I want to get the list of groups, it doesn't seem to include the one with nobody:

(Rakudo 2014.04) 'item %h' working differently between REPL and interpreter?

Hi, I'm trying to create a one-element array containing a hash. I eventually managed to do this from the REPL, but when I create a script containing the same commands, it doesn't work. $ cat test.p6 my %h = (y = 1, x = 1); say [item %h].elems; say [item %h][0].WHAT; $ perl6
