( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
tilly once posted something that could be coerced to do this.

Update: It would be kind of the inside-out solution to this problem, you could get a function callback for every combination of values, but I think to get an actual iterator function using this method, similar to the iterator produced by my $iter = do { my $i; sub { $i++ } };, you'd need a co-routine. Unless tilly can wrangle it out of his code :-)

There does seem to be a Coroutine Module on CPAN, might be fun to look into :)

Update: Taking the initiative, I wrangled tilly's code myself (just couldn't wait for the book :)

use strict; use warnings; my $iterator = mk_iter( [1..2], ["a".."c"], [3..5] ); while (my @arr = $iterator->()) { print "@arr\n"; } sub mk_iter { my $range = shift; my $i = 0; my $end = @$range; my $iter = sub { return unless $i < $end; return $$range[$i++]; }; @_ ? ret_iter($iter, @_) : $iter; } sub ret_iter { my $iter = shift; my $range = shift; my $i = 0; my $end = @$range; my @arr; my $new_iter = sub { $i = 0 unless $i < $end; return unless $i or @arr = $iter->(); return @arr, $$range[$i++]; }; @_ ? ret_iter($new_iter, @_) : $new_iter; } ##################################### # Update # Here's a variation which is closer to what was # Originally asked for, i.e. all combinations from # 2-4 characters use strict; use warnings; use strict; use warnings; my $iterator = make_iter( 2,4,[qw(A C G N T)] ); while (my @arr = $iterator->()) { print "@arr\n"; } sub make_iter { my ($start, $end, $range) = @_; my $nxt_iter = sub { return }; my $iter = sub { my @data; unless (@data = $nxt_iter->()) { return unless $start <= $end; $nxt_iter = mk_iter( ($range) x $start++); return $nxt_iter->(); }; @data; } }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
