( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hello, I've been searching for a very long time how to do the following:

I have an array, containing the elements (for example):

200 201 205 194 140 250 280

I want to substitute all values that are greater than 200 for the number 200, so ideally the new or modified array would contain:

200 200 200 194 140 200 200

My attempt to do this has involved using s///, tr///, etc. etc. Any suggestions?

my code:

@array = ('200', '201', '205', '194', '140', '250', '280'); print "original\n" , "@array " , "\n"; $count = @array; for ($i = 0; $i > $count-1; $i++) { if ($array[$i] gt '200') { s/$array[$i]/200/; } } print "new:\n" , "@array ", "\n";

which returns:

original 200 201 205 194 140 250 280 new 200 201 205 194 140 250 280

  • 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).
