Good Evening Monks!

I have a light sensor and I need to capture a numeric range from the serial monitor to which I've already done commands using simple letter matches. Number matches I am completely lost with outside of the normal $data == 5 (do something) and so on. I need to capture a range of 200-300 and 400-500 so I can issue a command based on any number within that range. For example:

if ($range ==/300-400/) { exit; } if ($range == /425-500/) { print STDOUT "LIGHTS ON"\n; }

and so on. Of course I know that it is not that simple. I do believe it has to do with regexp and numerical expressions? Thanks in advanced!

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.
