Thanks Chubler_XL. This works.
Sir could you please explain what we are doing in this.
I understand that we defined a function called "repl" which takes four parameters.
And then calling it 3 times.
I dont understand the following:
Quote:
sprintf("%-*s", t-f+1, v) substr(s,t+1) ---> What does this part does
we are storing all the return values in "a" and printing it. So will the values not get overwritten.
a=repl($0,96,98,"ABC")
a=repl(a,99,113,"DEF")
a=repl(a,190,198,"XYZ")
print a
And also when we are replacing characters from 99 to 113 with "DEF" without trailing spaces. How does it not mess the format.
Would really appreciate if you could explain this to me.

devel::repl::plugin::multiline::ppi
Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI(3pm)
NAME
Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI - read lines until all blocks are closed
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib './lib';
use Devel::REPL;
my $repl = Devel::REPL->new;
$repl->load_plugin('LexEnv');
$repl->load_plugin('History');
$repl->load_plugin('MultiLine::PPI');
$repl->run;
DESCRIPTION
Plugin that will collect lines until you have no unfinished structures. This lets you write subroutines, "if" statements, loops, etc. more
naturally.
For example, without a MultiLine plugin,
$ my $x = 3;
3
$ if ($x == 3) {
will throw a compile error, because that "if" statement is incomplete. With a MultiLine plugin,
$ my $x = 3;
3
$ if ($x == 3) {
> print "OH NOES!"
> }
OH NOES
1
you may write the code across multiple lines, such as in "irb" and "python".
This module uses PPI. This plugin is named "MultiLine::PPI" because someone else may conceivably implement similar behavior some other less
dependency-heavy way.
