Hi, I'm a newbie to sed and I'm having trouble working with sed and fields.
Suppose I have a text file with:

The following output has a space as the Field Separator.
I need:

$6 Set the field width to 15 then zero-fill to the left.

hi forums
i need help with a little problem i am having.
i need to count the number of fields that are in a saved variable so i can use that number to make a different function work properly.
is there a way of doing this without using SED/AWK?
anything would be greatly appreciated (4 Replies)
Hi,
I am working right now with a csv file and I want to insert an excel formula say to the 6th column.
sample csv file:

devel::refcount
Devel::Refcount(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::Refcount(3pm)NAME
"Devel::Refcount" - obtain the REFCNT value of a referent
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
my $anon = [];
print "Anon ARRAY $anon has " . refcount($anon) . " reference
";
my $otherref = $anon;
print "Anon ARRAY $anon now has " . refcount($anon) . " references
";
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a single function which obtains the reference count of the object being pointed to by the passed reference value.
FUNCTIONS
$count = refcount($ref)
Returns the reference count of the object being pointed to by $ref.
COMPARISON WITH SvREFCNT
This function differs from "Devel::Peek::SvREFCNT" in that SvREFCNT() gives the reference count of the SV object itself that it is passed,
whereas refcount() gives the count of the object being pointed to. This allows it to give the count of any referent (i.e. ARRAY, HASH,
CODE, GLOB and Regexp types) as well.
Consider the following example program:
use Devel::Peek qw( SvREFCNT );
use Devel::Refcount qw( refcount );
sub printcount
{
my $name = shift;
printf "%30s has SvREFCNT=%d, refcount=%d
",
$name, SvREFCNT($_[0]), refcount($_[0]);
}
my $var = [];
printcount 'Initially, $var', $var;
my $othervar = $var;
printcount 'Before CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
my $code = sub { undef $var };
printcount 'After CODE ref, $var', $var;
printcount '$othervar', $othervar;
This produces the output
Initially, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=1
Before CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
After CODE ref, $var has SvREFCNT=2, refcount=2
$othervar has SvREFCNT=1, refcount=2
Here, we see that SvREFCNT() counts the number of references to the SV object passed in as the scalar value - the $var or $othervar
respectively, whereas refcount() counts the number of reference values that point to the referent object - the anonymous ARRAY in this
case.
Before the CODE reference is constructed, both $var and $othervar have SvREFCNT() of 1, as they exist only in the current lexical pad. The
anonymous ARRAY has a refcount() of 2, because both $var and $othervar store a reference to it.
After the CODE reference is constructed, the $var variable now has an SvREFCNT() of 2, because it also appears in the lexical pad for the
new anonymous CODE block.
PURE-PERL FALLBACK
An XS implementation of this function is provided, and is used by default. If the XS library cannot be loaded, a fallback implementation in
pure perl using the "B" module is used instead. This will behave identically, but is much slower.
