Subs do not need to have a `return` statement if it is returning the last value. You also broke the return value of the subroutine that I wrote by assigning it to a variable. What I wrote would return `Nil` if it failed to find a match, yours will return an undefined `Int`. It should return

`eq` is string equality `==` is numeric equality a Buf is neither. You want `eqv` (equivalent) $b[2..4] eqv (0x90,0x00,0x04) On Fri, Feb 1, 2019 at 9:37 PM ToddAndMargo via perl6-users wrote: > > On 2/1/19 7:22 PM, ToddAndMargo via perl6-users wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > On a type Buf,

This would work: my $b = Buf.new( 0,0,0, 1, 2, 0 ); my $match = Buf.new( 1, 2 ); $b.rotor( $match.elems => 1 - $match.elems ).grep(* eqv $match.List, :k) If you only need the first one, swap out `grep` for `first` Another iffy option is to decode it as latin1
