I thought that auto-incremement on characters would following the ASCII table. But, ord("0") is 48 and ord("1") is 49. ord("9") is 57 and chr(58) is ':'. Could someone explain what I'm not seeing? The magical auto-increment does not use the whole ASCII table. It is limited to the 10 numbers, the 26 upper-case letters, and the 26 lower-case letters.

Furthermore, as said in the Camel book (page 91), the string must match /[a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*$/. That is, you can auto-increment file or file01, but not file01a.

Anyhow, you cannot get a : as the result of auto-increment, magical or not.

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.
