in reply to Two-dimensional match/regex? (2)

Inspired by Loops' suggestion, I made it a bit more flexible and easier to use. As you will note, the position information is directly extracted from the regex variables without the need for a second regex. It should be a little bit faster as well.
use Modern::Perl '2014'; my $delim = '&'; my @findme = ( '.#', '#', '..#\.' ); my @data = <DATA>; chomp @data; my $data; $data .= "$delim$_" for @data; for my $column ( 0 ... length( $data[0] ) - 1 ) { my $regex = build_regex( $column, @findme ); while ( my $result = $data =~ m/$regex/g ) { my $row = ( $-[0] / length( $data[0] . $delim ) ); say "Hit at row $row, column $column"; } } sub build_regex { my $column = shift; my @pattern = @_; my $pre = '[^' . $delim . ']{' . $column . '}'; my @accumulator; push @accumulator, quotemeta($delim) . $pre . $_ . '[^' . $delim . + ']*' for @pattern; my $regex = join '', @accumulator; return qr/$regex/; } __DATA__ #..#.....#. ..#...##... .#....#..## #..#....#.. ..#...#..#. .......#.#. ...........

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
