Can you please help to fix?

I have a string that has the form 'a:b:' where 'a' and 'b' are both numbers. How do I drop the second colon, or convert it to // ?

Hello again.

I've got a script that uses named capture groups to parse file records. The record format is always the same (four fields wide, colon separated), just like a passwd file (except for the number of fields).

For example:

0:1:bob:Bob
1:1:bob:Bob
1:0:alice:Alice

You get the idea. At first I used to split it, but later I came to the conclusion that using a regex with named groups could provide a more understandable code. The (simplified) example below might help you get the picture.

if (/^(?<type>[01]):(?<valid>[01]):(?<name>[^:]+):(?<comment>[^:]+)$/)
+ {
    print "Key name: ", $+{name}, "\n";
    print "Key Comment: ", $+{comment}, "\n";
    print "Not valid\n" unless $+{valid} || !$+{type};
} else {
    print "Malformed input: $_\n";
}
[download]

Now, I've noticed (according to perlretut) that named capture groups were introduced in Perl 5.10. I don't expect the script to run in older versions, but would it be wise to use v5.10 pragma?

Would it have any unwanted side effects? I'm not using any of the features of the bundle, just wanted to state that version 5.10 is required. Is that a good idea?

Hello Perl Monks

I am trying to use ExifTool to extract some Metadata TAGS. I've searched for a specific use case but was unsuccessful. Ive constructed some simple code to accomplish what I am trying to do, but I am looking for verification that I am doing it correctly to extract the necessary variables or is there a simpler way.

use Image::ExifTool qw(:Public);
use Data::Dumper;
$file='d:/60486581538__715F9238-09E5-4806-8146-0626DAFB0E36.JPG';
$ExifTool = new Image::ExifTool;
#$ExifTool->Options(DateFormat => '%Y-%m-%d');
$info = $ExifTool->ImageInfo($file,'SubSecCreateDate','LensModel');
#$info = $ExifTool->ImageInfo($file);
print "INFO: $info\n";
$createdate=$$info{'SubSecCreateDate'};
$lens=$$info{'LensModel'};
print "\nCreate Date: $createdate\n";
print "Lens Model: $lens\n\n";
print Dumper($info);
exit;

D:\>metadata.pl
INFO: HASH(0x2b9f148)

Create Date: 2020:03:02 13:16:55.336-05:00
Lens Model: iPhone 7 back camera 3.99mm f/1.8

$VAR1 = {
          'LensModel' => 'iPhone 7 back camera 3.99mm f/1.8',
          'SubSecCreateDate' => '2020:03:02 13:16:55.336-05:00'
        };

Is there something strange about the way return treats conditions?

I have this and it doesn't work as expected...

sub get_ids {
    my ($self, %attrs) = @_;
    
    # Do stuff...

    my %result;
    # $result{'message'} = '';
    if ($self->{'error'}) {
        $result{'status'}  = 'error';
        $result{'message'} = $self->{'error'};
    } else {
        $result{'status'}  = 'success';
        $result{'api-key'} = $self->{'api-public'};
        $result{'session'} = $intent_id;
    }

    return encode_json(\%result) if lc($attrs{'format'}) eq 'json';
    return $result{'message'} or "$result{'api-key'}:$result{'session'
+}";   # <- line 229
    return "SOMETHING";
}

Can you explain why this is not behaving as expected?

As an aside, in searching for an answer I found this post -> Useless use of string in void context
There it is suggested that Perl reports the wrong line number for this warning so it is quite possible that I'm actually looking in the wrong place!

I'm perplexed. Can you tell me what is wrong with this script?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; 
use File::Find;

open (my $t, '>', '/home/myuser/myfilename.sql') or die $!;

print $t "blah blah\n";

find( { preprocess => \&hi, wanted => \&work, postprocess => \&bye, fo
+llow_skip => 1 }, ".");

sub hi { print $t "hi\n"; return;} # works correctly

sub bye { print $t "bye\n"; return;}  # works correctly

sub work { print "my name is: ", $File::Find::name;
       print $t "I'm a file!"; 
           return;}                 

close $t;
[download]

when I run the script in the current tree directory I would expect a list of filenames being printed in screen and a text file containing:

blah blah
hi
I'm a file!I'm a file!I'm a file!... etc
bye
[download]

But what I have is: "my name is: ." or "my name is: 1" and a file containing:

blah blah
hi
bye
I'm a file!    <-yep, solitary and in the wrong position

Can somebody tell me what is happening here? Is not a little late for an 1-April Joke?

Searching CPAN I was rather surprised that the only general modules for connecting to LinkedIn seem to be WWW::LinkedIn and Net::Linkedin::OAuth2 - both of these date from before Microsoft acquired LinkedIn 5 years ago...unbelievable that it is that long ago!

Since the 5th April, Hootsuite have reduced the number of scheduled posts permitted on free accounts down to just 5 and we don't use the other features to warrant the paid price tag. We already have an automated Twitter scheduler and I want to add LinkedIn to it so just need something to authenticate, read the timestamp of the latest post and be able to create a post containing media.

Before I write something to do this, are there any modules available or should I try out the modules above despite their age?

A module I am creating has a blessed hash ref as is common. One of the hashes is a reference to an array of anonymous hashes created like so:

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my %attrs = @_;
    
    my @products = ({
        'id'            => 0,
        'name'          => 'Test',
        'description'   => 'Some test data',
        'qty'           => 1,
        'price'         => 1000,
    });
    $attrs{'trolley'} = \@products;
    
    return bless \%attrs, $class;
}
[download]

What is the best way to do this?
Both of these push lines appear to work identically in testing

sub add_product {
    my ($self, $product_data) = @_;
    # create $new_product hasfref
    push $self->{'trolley'}, $new_product;
    push @{$self->{'trolley'}}, $new_product;
}

Is there a practical difference and is there a 'best' option to use?
