Monks,
I am trying to edit a CSV string, where my goal is to insert a character (a zero) between any occurrence of two consecutive commas. In other words, I'm replacing any missing values with a zero, e.g.,

1,2,,4 -> 1,2,0,4

The regex I have written does not work as I expected, so I have two questions:
1) What regex would accomplish this, and
2) What is wrong with my approach. There's some subtlety of regexs that I need to familiarize myself with!

This code:

$s="1,2,3,,5,6,,,9,10,,,,14,15,,,,,,,,,,,,,"; $s=~s/,,/,0,/g; 
print "$s\n"; '

...results in :

1,2,3,0,5,6,0,,9,10,0,,0,14,15,0,,0,,0,,0,,0,,0,,

Thanks for considering this issue!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
