( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi Monks,
pls help me check this issues: E.g:
$d = "123456789"; $d =~ s/(?<=\d)(?=(\d\d)+$)/-/g; print "$d";
It produce "1-23-45-67-89" ,it is OK.
But on the contrary,I wanna get a "left-to-right" substitution.That is ,i want to get "12-34-56-78-9"
I try :
$d =~ s/(?<=^(\d\d)+)(?=\d)/-/g;
It can't work.Where does it wrong? The wrong log:
Variable length lookbehind not implemented in regex; marked by <-- HER +E in m/(?<=^(\d\d)+)(?=\d) <-- HERE / at Noname1.pl line 4.
TIA.

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.
