I was looking through some code online and came accross this...
ls *.txt | grep text1 | cat file1 – file2 | `echo wc –l`
I know what "ls|grep text1" does and I know a word count gets echoed but beyond that I am confused. Please use layman terms as much as possible as I am a newbie. (8 Replies)

perl::critic::policy::builtinfunctions::prohibitbooleangrep
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitBooleanGUser3Contributed Perl DocuPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitBooleanGrep(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitBooleanGrep - Use "List::MoreUtils::any" instead of "grep" in boolean context.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Using "grep" in boolean context is a common idiom for checking if any elements in a list match a condition. This works because boolean
context is a subset of scalar context, and grep returns the number of matches in scalar context. A non-zero number of matches means a
match.
But consider the case of a long array where the first element is a match. Boolean "grep" still checks all of the rest of the elements
needlessly. Instead, a better solution is to use the "any" function from List::MoreUtils, which short-circuits after the first successful
match to save time.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
CAVEATS
The algorithm for detecting boolean context takes a LOT of shortcuts. There are lots of known false negatives. But, I was conservative in
writing this, so I hope there are no false positives.
