The (.*?) pattern will match an empty string. Thus $0 gets the dollar sign, $1 is "", and "$" ~ "" (i.e., "$") gets replaced by "" ~ "USD" (i.e., "USD"). So the net result is to replace the single dollar sign by "USD", resulting in "USD1.23". You might want to remove the ? modifier from

My guesses at Perl 6 versions of the Perl 5 example: say .split(':')[0, 2, 1, 5].join("\t") for lines; -or- for lines { say .split(':')[0, 2, 1, 5].join("\t") } Pm On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 12:49:51PM -0700, William Michels via perl6-users wrote: > Hello, Just a short backgrounder to say

Re: Substr behaviour with CRLF

Because Str is treated as a set of graphemes, and "\r\n" is treated as a single character, .substr() is doing the right thing here. If you really want to treat it as a series of codepoints, you may want to go through Blob/Buf to get there: > "1234\r\n78".encode.subbuf(*-4) utf8:0x<0D

Re: Different return values with "say" vs "put" (Nil representation... )

"say $x" is essentially equivalent to "put $x.gist". Since Nil is undefined (roughly equivalent to a type object), Nil.gist has a string value of "Nil" and can be printed. However, attempting to convert Nil directly into a Str throws an error because that's attempting to stringify an

Re: junctions and parenthesis

The "any" function is just like any other function taking an arbitrary list of arguments (including user-defined functions). As such it parses with lower precedence than comparison operators -- so "eq" binds more tightly than "any". Thus say so any eq any ; parses like say(so(any( eq

Re: how do I turn a real into and array of Integers?

This is a place where .comb() is likely much better than .split() -- .comb() allows you to specify what you're wanting instead of what you're wanting to avoid: $ raku -e "say sqrt(2).comb(/\d/).join(', ');" 1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 6, 2, 3, 7, 3, 0, 9, 5, 1 If you want only the first 10

Re: Need regex ^? help

Perhaps not really what you're intending, but here's how I'd start: $ raku -e 'my $x="1.2.3.4"; $x ~~ s!\d+$!0/24!; say $x;' 1.2.3.0/24 The pattern part of the substitution matches all of the digits at the end of the string (\d+$), then replaces them with the string "0/24". Everything
