Cockney Rhyming Slang Converter



Only takes one string at a time. Also adds a "Norf Lahndan" accent...
Enjoy!

    $eng =~ s/you/ya/ig; $eng =~ s/aren't you/int'cha/ig;

    Note that the second line above will never do anything since "aren't you" will become "aren't ya" before the line is executed. Similarly, "army" will never be changed as it will become "arme" before the relavent regex gets run.

    That first error jumped out at me but looking closer it looks like you've accounted for most of those types of errors. Just a few minor bugs still left (ain't that always true). (:

      Doesn't seem that much of a problem to me, couldn't you just switch the relevant regexen around? (Same applies to the "Pub - Nuclear sub" issue further down) Brother Ade
Re: CRSC
by daniell (Sexton) on Feb 09, 2001 at 00:43 UTC
    It's not a bad idea; but wouldn't it be better to:
    • Setup a hash with the input words to the output rhymes.
    • Split the input on breaks
    • lowercase it, and look it up in the hash?
    At least, that'd make editing the table, and working with a big table, simpler.

      I like this idea, but it has the major drawback that a hash dosen't preserve order, and in this case the order of application of those REs is important.

      I don't know of any elegant solution to this (I'm using mostly the same method when creating multi-page CGI scripts), so the thing I'm using is a hash of page handlers and an array as the sequence of pages (yes, it's the dreaded wizard-style interface). Pages (== hash keys) that are not found in the sequence array are then either flagged as an error (more stability) or silently appended to the end of the wizard (quick'n'dirty development).

      A sample :
      my @pageorder = ( "welcome", "address", "recipients", "preview", "done +" ); # Routines to create the pages my %pages = ( "welcome" => \&page_welcome, "address" => \&page_address, "recipients" => \&page_recipients, "preview" => \&page_preview, "done" => \&page_done, ); # Routines to validate user input for every page my %validators = ( "welcome" => undef, "address" => \&validate_address, "recipients" => \&validate_recipients, "preview" => undef, "done" => undef, );

      And the page handler works like this :

      # First, determine where we are, using a default of "welcome" on error + : my $page; if ($cgi->param("go_prev") and $cgi->param("prevpage")) { $page = $cgi->param("prevpage"); } else { $page = $cgi->param("nextpage"); }; if (! exists $pages{$page}) { $page = "welcome"; }; # Parameter validation ommitted, as it's simply a walk of the validati +on chain for every page ... # Execute the special code for this page, so all this searching had so +me sense : &{$pages{$page}};

        You could always use Tie::IxHash for this. You can also cheat and do what I find myself doing sometimes:

        my @pages = ( welcome => \&page_welcome, address => \&page_address, recipients => \&page_recipients, preview => \&page_preview, done => \&page_done, ); my %pages= @pages; @pages= do { my $key= 0; grep { $key= !$key } @pages };
        Since you have two hashes with shared keys, you might go a different route like:
        my( @pageorder, %pages, %validators ); for( ["welcome", \&page_welcome, undef], ["address", \&page_address, \&validate_address], ["recipients", \&page_recipients, \&validate_recipients], ["preview", \&page_preview, undef], ["done", \&page_done, undef], ) { push @pageorder, $_->[0]; $pages{$_->[0]}= $_->[1]; $validators{$_->[0]}= $_->[2]; }
        or perhaps:
        use mapcar; my( @pageorder, %pages, %validators ); BEGIN { my( $key, $page, $valid )= mapcar {[@_]} ["welcome", \&page_welcome, undef], ["address", \&page_address, \&validate_address], ["recipients", \&page_recipients, \&validate_recipients], ["preview", \&page_preview, undef], ["done", \&page_done, undef]; @pageorder= @$keys; @pages{@$keys}= @$page; @validators{@$keys}= @$valid; }
        Season to taste.

    OK, this bit
    $eng =~ s/oro/oro/ig; # this has to be here atm
    has me puzzled. What gives?
      Aah, just ++ it and "shut yer face".

      Erm, the reason why that is in there is thus :

      I can't remember what it was, but there was a word with "oro" in it, but it didn't sound right becoming "awo".

      All right, all right, i'll fix it. Gimme a sec :) Thanks man

    It would be nice to have a -n or -p version of this that
    could be piped into similar to the Bork program that
    sometimes comes with various unices. Then you could
    cat files into it and have them translated rather than
    having to type them in one line at a time.

    Also, there's a bug for the word pub, which is translated to
    nuclear sub. The sub is then translated to rubber dub
    below, so pub becomes nuclear rubber dub.

    -xaco

      I don't think the "fix" used will work. The line is now:

      $eng =~ s/\b(?!p)sub/rubber dub/ig;  # thanks to xaco for spotting this

      This looks to me like "replace word/non-word boundary followed by something which is 's' and not 'p' followed by 'u' followed by 'b' by 'rubber dub'". This will still replace 'nuclear sub' with 'nuclear rubber dub'. The (?!p) is superfluous because the next character can never be a 'p' anyway, since you say it must match /s/i.

      Easiest is probably just to switch the order of the rules, since you can't say "replace the word 'sub' except it if used to be the word 'pub'" :)

    A little hacking to make it loop on STDIN and a sub crsc {...} and we get stuff like

    DESCRIPTION

    Netstat displays infawmation of the Linux netwawking rubber dubˇ system.
    (no option)
    ya can view the status of netwawk connections by listing the open sockets. This is the default operation: If ya don't specify any address families, then the active sockˇ ets of awl configured address families will be printed. Wiv -e ya get some additionaw infawmations (userid). Wiv the -v switch ya can make netstat complain abaht knahn address families which are not suppawted by the kerˇ nel. The -o option displays some additionaw infawmation on netwawking birdrs. Enabling the -p will shah ya the proˇ cess PID and name of the program 'olding the socket. -a print awl sockets, including the listening server sockets. The address family inet will display bale of straw, udp and tcp sockets.

    Great program -- I have one nitpicky change...

    $eng =~ s/\bballs/cobblers/ig;

    to

    $eng =~ s/\bballs/cobblers' awls/ig;

    But only if you want to keep track of where it came from ;-) Did I mention that this was a great program? I enjoyed it immensely.
