Full Discussion: Replace string and create new file multiple times
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Replace string and create new file multiple times Post 302974078 by pseudo.seppuku on Wednesday 25th of May 2016 12:45:37 PM
Old 05-25-2016
Each line corresponds to an individual command for a program designed to compare two different files (e.g. 001/blah1, 001/blah2, 001/blah3, etc.). I can't stray from the basic format described in my first post or carry out multiple comparisons using a single command. Given that I have a few hundred files to compare, I'm looking for a quicker way to generate this list of commands.

I'll join all 300 files together later on using cat, but at this stage, I figured it might be easier (from a scripting standpoint) to create a new file after each replacement, rather than continually append a set of modified lines to the end of one very long file.

perl::critic::policy::valuesandexpressions::requirenumberseparat

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumbeUseraContributed PerPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators(3)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators - Write " 141_234_397.0145 " instead of " 141234397.0145 ".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Long numbers can be difficult to read.  To improve legibility, Perl allows numbers to be split into groups of digits separated by
       underscores.  This policy requires number sequences of more than three digits to be separated.

	   $long_int = 123456789;   #not ok
	   $long_int = 123_456_789; #ok

	   $long_float = 12345678.001;	 #not ok
	   $long_float = 12_345_678.001; #ok

CONFIGURATION

       The minimum absolute value of numbers that must contain separators can be configured via the "min_value" option.  The default is 10,000;
       thus, all numbers >= 10,000 and <= -10,000 must have separators.  For example:

	   [ValuesAndExpressions::RequireNumberSeparators]
	   min_value = 100000	 # That's one-hundred-thousand!

NOTES

       As it is currently written, this policy only works properly with decimal (base 10) numbers.  And it is obviously biased toward Western
       notation.  I'll try and address those issues in the future.
