( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
> This is a fairly primitive way to do it:

using a sliding window (safer with huge streams)

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump; my @window; push @window, scalar <DATA> for 1..5; # init while (my $line = <DATA>) { push @window, $line; chomp @window; if( $window[3] =~ m/[^\d]+\d+/ ){ dd \@window; } shift @window; } __END__ alpha beta something a07607 b-alpha b-beta b-something b-something else c-alpha c-beta c-somethin a9706 d-alpha d-beta d-something d-something else
-->
["alpha", "beta", "something", "a07607", "b-alpha", "b-beta"] ["c-alpha", "c-beta", "c-somethin", "a9706", "d-alpha", "d-beta"]

update

maybe more elegant

use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump; my @window; while (my $line = <DATA>) { push @window, $line; next if @window < 6; # init if( $window[3] =~ m/[^\d]+\d+/ ){ dd \@window; } shift @window; }

Update

Oh the latter (more elegant) approach has a clear advantage, if you want to avoid overlapping results you just need to empty the window after a match and it gets automatically refilled. :)

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.
