Re: Question about Blob and Buf

I think the problem is IO::Socket.read() returns a Blob not a Buf. ~ has a Buf, Buf variant : https://docs.raku.org/language/operators#infix_~ But not a Blob one. Buf does Blob but not vice versa. I think you need to transform the output from .read into a Buf if you want to use the ~= how you

Re: Question about Blob and Buf

~ works fine for concatenating Bufs; For example: my $a = Buf.new(1,2,3); my $b = $a ~ Buf.new(4,5,6) will assign correctly to $b. I can't work out what the problem is here, despite trying various combinations. Perhaps socket isn't really returning a Blob? Kevin. On Tue, 11 Feb 2020 at 21:01,

Re: Question about Blob and Buf

You are using ~, which stringifies. Bufs are not strings: you need to decode them to concatenate it to a string. If what you want is to concatenate the buffer, probably ,= will work (not sure about this, would have to check), or any other operator that works on Positionals. JJ El mar., 11 feb.

Hi Paul and Todd, just a little extra info: the limitation for nameds to come after positionals is only for declarations of signatures. Usage of subs/methods as well as capture literals (which you don't use often, i imagine, so feel free to disregard) allow you to mix nameds and positionals

Hi All, I have a situation where I can see two different strings: "xxx zzz" "avcdefg hi jklmx" "fg hi" only has one space in the middle. All the words have multiple spaces between them. Is there a way I can tell words that I want "fg hi" to be considered one

Re: qx and echo question

quote the argument to run - try the below - and yes, I switched to forward slash. My experience is that Windows accepts either slash, and forward slashes create fewer confusing situations. perl6 -e "my $proc=run 'dir'; say 'Exit code=', $proc.exitcode;" perl6 -e "chdir 'c:/NtUtil'; my $proc=run

Re: qx and echo question

So, you want to see the output as it happens, and the program doesn't need the output, it only needs the error code? my $proc = run 'ls'; say $proc.exitcode ?? 'error' !! 'good' ; I got that from the examples on https://docs.perl6.org/type/Proc#sub_run - even if documentation usually leaves you

Question about "colon syntax" for calling other methods on 'self' inside a method

Hello, I have a question related to the 'colon syntax' of Raku, which allows you to call methods without parenthesis like this: class Foo { method print($x, $y) { say "bar: {$x}, {$y}" } } my $a = Foo.new; $a.p
