By replacing a line with a certain number of hyphens with a word i can easily parse. Like, in the following (simplified, just proof-of-concept) example:

Code:
sed -n 's/^x$/one/p
        s/^x\{2\}$/two/p
        s/^x\{3\}$/three/p
        s/^x\{4\}$/four/p' /some/file |\
while read LINE ; do
     case LINE in
          "one")
               do_something once
               ;;

          "two")
               do_something twice
               ;;

          "three")
               do_something three-times
               ;;

          "four")
               do_something four-times
               ;;
     esac
done

In practice one could replace a certain destination directory for every given numbers of hyphens so that one could directly use that in the following mv-statement instead of the rather cumbersome case-esac.

I hope this helps.

MooseX::Role::Timer(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  MooseX::Role::Timer(3pm)

NAME
MooseX::Role::Timer - Measure times with your object. SYNOPSIS
package Demo; use Moose; # or Any::Moose with 'MooseX::Role::Timer'; sub BUILD { shift->start_timer("build"); } sub do_something { my $self = shift; $self->start_timer("something"); # do something... $self->stop_timer("something"); } package main; my $demo = Demo->new; $demo->do_something; $demo->do_something; printf "%3.6fs ", $demo->elapsed_timer("build"); # time spent since BUILD printf "%3.6fs ", $demo->elapsed_timer("something"); # time spent in sub do_something This Role provides your object with timers, making it easier to keep track of how long whatever actions take. start_timer($name) Start timer $name. stop_timer($name) Stop timer $name. Could be started again to cumulatively measure time. reset_timer($name) Stops timer $name and clears cumulated times for $name. elapsed_timer('name') Return the elapsed time in seconds (cumulated) for timer $name. timer_names Return all timer names.
