Hi.
Should this move to Obfuscated Code? :-)
perl -F: -al0ne '$i||=1;/^n/&&print$i;!/^u/&&print$F[1];/^$/&&$i++&&pr
+int$/'
I don't think it meets the "simple" requirement, but it is mostly on one line... ;-)
Here is what B::Deparse makes of it though, for reference.
LINE: while (defined($_ = <ARGV>)) {
chomp $_;
@F = split(/:/, $_, 0);
$i ||= 1;
print $i if /^n/;
print $F[1] if not /^u/;
print $/ if /^$/ and $i++;
}
I'm not sure if the preceeding number is a requirement or not. Without the number prefix, I can get down to:
perl '-F: ' -al0ne '!/^u/&&print qq($F[1] );/^$/&&print$/'
(To run on Win32, change all the ' into " - it should still work.)
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
-- Dave :-)

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).
