Re: subst :g and captures in the replacement

Yary, I tried your examples out in REPL after reading Tobias and Timo's responses. After the second example, I tried outputting the  result of '$/' which contains the  whole capture from the last regex match. My result was > 'fosdffgg'.subst(/(f+)/,'( ' ~ $0 ~ ' )',:g) ( f )osd( f )gg > $/

judgement. Leaving git out is not 'a mistake', not was it 'forgotten'. It was a judgement. It is also a matter of judgement as to whom the target audience is. But that is entirely another topic. On 10/04/2020 01:37, ToddAndMargo via perl6-users wrote: On 2020-04-09 09:39,

Re: tip: Windows, Git, and those nice Linux utilities

Am I missing something here? It would seem obvious to me that Git and Raku are not linked in any way, except of course for developers who only use Git with Raku, or who only have a dependency on Git through zef. It would therefore seem to me that a Raku / Zef distribution should NOT bundle G

Rational numbers... was Re: irrational nubmer?

Hi Todd, This is going to be hard for an intuitive guy like you, but it can be proven that 100% of all numbers are irrational (see https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1556670/100-of-the-real-numbers-between-0-and-1-are-irrational ). Except the ones that a computer can do operations on, which

Re: Circular loading?

What is in WinReg? Bear in mind that the top level Raku program is compiled into memory and run. But the default for any Module is that it is compiled first, and the compiled version is stored. (You can prevent precompilation by using the statement "no precompilation;" which can be useful if y

Todd, You just did exactly what Liz said you would do by writing 'Richard has not liked me for a long time'. Do you not even re-read your own posts or have the self-awareness to recognise it? Really? Does it matter whether or not 'I like you'? This list is not some place for social media t

Todd, Once again I find myself writing to you directly in response to a post of yours and asking again that you be respectful to others in this community. Striving for respect for everyone from everyone directly benefits us all. And disrespect harms you: your long emails defending your point

Re: My Windows Modules

Todd! Of what use are these module printouts? For someone who complains immediately if you are disrespected by having your grammar corrected, you are remarkably disrespectful to everyone else. The work you have done getting these modules to work on Windows is great. Given the dominance of Wi
