In Perl. ***edited question below***

Hey all, I am teaching myself some simple CSV file manipulation and have become a little stuck. Say I have the following layout in the CSV file:
...

Perfecto.

I love this forum. :b:

I'm making a little game in Perl, and I am trying to remove the first instance of a character in an arbitrary string. For example, if the string is

"cupcakes"and the user enters another string...

:eek:

drl, you are amazing. Thank you so much.

That is certainly one solution I had thought about, but it doesn't seem very elegant. Potentially there could be an arbitrary number of boxes (I should have said in the original post, sorry), so I...

Hello all, I'm writing a simple little game to get myself back into BASH, but am getting unstuck with some formatting. I have the following code:


let len=${#binary}

for ((j=0; j <...

D'oh! That would explain the segmentation fault, then.

Thank you very much for your help!

I had to put some white space in between the files because it was concatenating them together like:...

Hello all,

I'm attempting to write a basic application that appends an arbitrary list of txt files to one txt file.

So, for example, if the application is run like so:

appendFileToFile...

Let's think methodically what we want to do here:

I'm assuming I have this data in the csv in this order:

11/12/2001,1234,Paul Stephens

So, I want to sort by number

sort -n

then I...

Post your new sort code, might as well have a crack it now you have the answer anyway :P

Yeah, I was working on the same problem (a couple of weeks back now), but it's due in next week so you're probably going to get a lot of traffic soon :P

This particular issue is probably the most...

Or, you know, one of the mods just gifts you the answer :D

Lucky boy.

As I said, I know this is an assignment, so if I just give you the answer, we'll both get into trouble and you won't learn anything. I can see you're actually trying (unlike most of our peers), but...

I know exactly what assignment this is for so I won't give away too much.

When you're sorting, think about how you're splitting that sort... You're splitting it by the comma, yet you want to sort...

I got the newest gen Kindle for Christmas and I have fallen in love with it. I never thought I would see the say I used an e-reader.

Disregard the last post I made, I had a stupid error in it. All working now.

Thank you, all.

Thanks for the reply.

Sadly that regex allows for multiple minus signs and multiple decimal points.

For example:

------------------9......................3

Is valid with that regex.

Hey again,

I have a basic regex that tests if a number is a float.


Thank you.

Haha, I wondered what I had done!

Anyway, that " /t" works a treat. Just what I needed.

Thank you very much!:o

Hey all,

I have a very simple regular expression that I use when I want to allow only letters with spaces. (I know this regex has a lot of shortcomings, but I'm still trying to learn them)
...

it would have something to do with that but used single quotes instead of double. I'm such an idiot.

Hi all, Just want to say thanks for the great forum you have here, the old topics and posts have helped tremendously. So much so that I have managed to figure a lot out just by researching. However,...
