Re: String to array problem

And this is another reason for the Grammar solution: it lets you do just what is needed, in a constrained environment so you don't have any risk (unless you do something questionable in the Grammar, but then that's on you.) On Mon, Jul 17, 2017 at 6:15 AM, Brent Laabs wrote:

Re: String to array problem

Nested quotes and escapes are handled by the Grammar-based solution I pointed to. You can't handle them in general with a simple regex. On Sun, Jul 16, 2017 at 8:54 PM, ToddAndMargo wrote: > > -Original Message- >> From: ToddAndMargo [mailto:toddandma...@zoho.com]

Re: split and one liner problem

That's a weird thing to do. You call a function that returns the lines of input as a list, in a context that joins them back together as words, and then try to split the result on lines again. lines already gives you what you want. Don't split. perl6 -e 'for lines { say "<$_>"; }' On Friday,

Re: Help me be greedy!

The ? is the opposite of greedy, just as in pcre/perl 5. Greedy is the default. I also don't see why you have a .* before f if you want to capture everything before the f. On Friday, August 4, 2017, ToddAndMargo wrote: > Hi All, > > I NEED TO BE GREEDY! HAHA HAHA . > >
