Attacking the insertions in reverse order from the right-hand side means you don't have to increment your position by one for each successive insertion. Swings and roundabouts really but sometimes a useful technique.

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' > my $text = > q{2013020400000000006810083610022013068100200220130688000200494}; > my @offs = ( 17, 6, 31, 3, 3 ); > my @cums = ( 0 ); > push @cums, $_ + $cums[ -1 ] for @offs; > substr $text, $_, 0, q{-} for reverse @cums[ 1 .. $#cums ]; > say $text;' 20130204000000000-068100-8361002201306810020022013068800-020-049-4

Here's the code without the PS2 prompt for easier copy'n'paste, as requested by /msg in respect of another post.

perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' my $text = q{2013020400000000006810083610022013068100200220130688000200494}; my @offs = ( 17, 6, 31, 3, 3 ); my @cums = ( 0 ); push @cums, $_ + $cums[ -1 ] for @offs; substr $text, $_, 0, q{-} for reverse @cums[ 1 .. $#cums ]; say $text;'

I hope this is of interest.

Cheers,

JohnGG

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.
