( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Loved the clever use of the return value from push, ioannis (++). The 'experimental' regex feature, however, got me thinking if it could be done with regular features only, so - here is the slightly ugly, but short:
perl -ne "m/foo/ and die @@ ; shift(@@) if push(@@,$_)>5" myfile.txt
I used "die" because (without eval), the "print @@, exit" combo printed nothing in my code (but it works as advertised in ioannis' code). Perhaps a more enlightened monk could explain why.

Update: This works too:

perl -Mstrict -ne "m/addr/ and eval {print @@; exit}; shift(@@) if pus +h(@@,$_)>5" myfile.txt
This code works on Win32. Use single-quotes for *nix.

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.
