( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
This would better be coded using a hash:
use strict; use warnings; my %prims =( "int" => 1, "char" => 1, "long" => 1, "double" => 1, "static" => 1 ); while(<>) { if($prims{$_}) { print "Found item $_\n"; } }
Update:
If you absolutely need to have the @prim array, then create the hash on-the-fly using map:
... my @prim = (("int","char","long","double","static"); my %prim = map { $_ => 1 } @prim; ...
Update2

After reading moritz's take on this, his seems to be what you're looking for.

I was somehow thinking that you were parsing chunks (ie. words) and then seeing if that word existed in your array/hash.

moritz is also spot-on mentioning that you're not handling the newlines at the ends of lines.


Your wish is my commandline.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
