( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Monks, I have one question realated to translation.

I have read the following from an online material.

The c option (c is for "complement") translates all characters that are not specified. For example, the statement $string =~ tr/\d/ /c; replaces everything that is not a digit with a space.

But when i tried the following i am getting the following output than what i expected.

$a = 'acvdef431234'; $a =~ tr/\d/ /c; print "$a"; output: d expected output: 431234

But if i used [0-9] it is working good.

$a = 'acvdef431234'; $a =~ tr/[0-9]/ /c; print "$a"; output: 431234

I am in total confusion. Could anyone explain whats going on there.

Regards,
Anniyan

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.
