Re: Does words have a delimiter?

You can use tail:

$ perl6 -e 'say .words.tail(2)'
(bar bat)

Re: Does words have a delimiter?

What's an elegant way of asking for the last two words? I have this:

'foo bar bat'.words[*-2..*];# (bar bat)

I bet it could be better...

-y

"words" is just a shorthand for a common invocation of "split", really.

Re: Does words have a delimiter?

[Jonathan Scott Duff]

Looking at that page myself, it doesn't appear that you can specify the
separator for .words.  So ... no.

Though, that would make an interesting addition IMHO

Does words have a delimiter?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I am over on
https://docs.perl6.org/routine/words
and I can't make heads of tails out of it.

Does "words" have a delimiter, as does "-F" with awk?

Many thanks,
-T
