in thread Ignore a range of numbers ina List

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dump -le "my $aref = [ 6, 7, 1, 6, 8, 9, 7, 2, 6, 98, 99, 7, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5, ]; dd $aref; ;; my @copy; $_ == 6 .. $_ == 7 or push @copy, $_ for @$aref; ;; dd \@copy; " [6, 7, 1, 6, 8, 9, 7, 2, 6, 98, 99, 7, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5] [1, 2, 3, 7, 4]

What's supposed to happen if a "start" code for an exclusion sequence is seen, but no corresponding "stop" code is ever seen? My assumption was that no exclusion would happen. I expected
    [6, 7, 1, 6, 8, 9, 7, 2, 6, 98, 99, 7, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5]
to yield
    [1, 2, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5]

    Building upon your very elegant solution, but changing it somewhat so it now adds to the valid output a sequence at the end that starts with a 6 but never gets ended by a 7.

    use Modern::PBP::Perl; my $aref = [1, 6, 2, 2, 7, 1, 6, 99, 99, 7, 1, 2, 6, 9, 8, 6, 5]; my @copy; my @stack; (($_ == 6 .. $_ == 7) and push @stack, $_) or (push @copy, $_ and @sta +ck=()) for @$aref; push @copy, @stack; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@copy;

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

    If the RHS of the flip-flop operator never gets true, then the flip-flop just stays as it is. Hence after 7,4 the 6 turns the flip-flop on, and 6,5 aren't pushed onto @copy.

    perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
      Hence after 7,4 the 6 turns the flip-flop on, and 6,5 aren't pushed onto @copy.

      I understand that, but what I was confused about was whether pr33 wanted the 6, 5 to appear in the output or not. pr33 seems to have answered this and related questions here. (At last! A quasi-test-based response :)
