Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Convert Overpunch character values to number that comes between the numbers in perl Post 302970519 by jgt on Thursday 7th of April 2016 11:04:17 AM

It looks like you need to add 16 to the ascii value of each special character.
That is assuming that a space is zero, and a ) is 9.
In pseudo code
Code:
a=input string
for i=1 to len(a)
if asc(substr(a,i,1)) <48
  echo chr(asc(substr(a,i,1)+16)
else
  echo substr(a,i,1)
fi
next i

where asc("0") is 48 and chr(48) is "0".
Slight adjustment, a decimal point is 46 so line 3 should be <46 not <48

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSuUser(Contributed Perl DocPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr(3pm)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr - Use 4-argument "substr" instead of writing "substr($foo, 2, 6) = $bar". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages the use of "substr()" as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of "substr()" be used instead. substr($something, 1, 2) = $newvalue; # not ok substr($something, 1, 2, $newvalue); # ok The four-argument form of "substr()" was introduced in Perl 5.005. This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly specifies an earlier version of Perl (e.g. "use 5.004;"). CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. SEE ALSO
"substr" in perlfunc (or "perldoc -f substr"). "4th argument to substr" in perl5005delta AUTHOR
