which perldoc for doin stuff with arrays? want to copy all but first of one array to another |
| DrForr |
perldoc perldsc |
| DrForr |
Or just (undef,@new) = @old; |
| rindolf |
Also $old[1..$#old] |
| DrForr |
Of course TIMTOWTDI... |
| rindolf |
Well, @old[1..$#old] |
| rindolf |
I think in perl 6 you can do @old[1..*-1] |
| jim |
@a2 = @a1[1..$#a1]? |
| jim |
not perl6in yet |
| rindolf |
jim: yes, but with different names. |
| rindolf |
jim: else you want an array or a hash of arrays. |
| rindolf |
perlbot: varvarname |
| perlbot |
rindolf: Why it's stupid to `use a variable as a variable name' - http://perl.plover.com/varvarname.html |
| jim |
wait, are you sure mine is wrong? |
| rindolf |
jim: it's not wrong per-ce, just a red flag. |
| jim |
what's the flag? |
| rindolf |
jim: varvarname. |
| jim |
note I said @a->2<- = ... |
| rindolf |
jim: well, it's like doing my ($x1,$x2,$x3,$x4...) - better use an array. |
| rindolf |
Assuming you want that. |
| rindolf |
Yes, what is the difference between @a2 and @a1? What is their significance? |
| jim |
@a1 is a complete list of phone numbers, @a2 is a list of phone numbers not yet uploaded to the phone |
| thrig |
@phone_numbers! |
| jim |
it's like that in the code |
| thrig |
oh, okay |
| jim |
I'm just not typin that crap into the irc window as irc isn't the most wonderful medium for posting code |
| jim |
believe me, my variable names from 20 years ago tell me what they are for |
| thrig |
var_name_from_20_years_ago_you_re_still_not_taking_out_the_damn_trash |
| jim |
I'm not necessarily at liberty to specify exactly what I'm doing |
| jim |
even tho I did so in this case |
| thrig |
otherwise the mafia arranges a boaking accident? |
| mfontani |
worse; nobody expects the spanish inquisition! |
| rindolf |
I'm going crazy without buubot. |
| rindolf |
Where is he and buu? |
| jim |
well the way you're acting doesn't exactly induce the greatest amount of openness |
| rindolf |
jim: I apologise. |
| rindolf |
jim: we may have erred in this. |
| jim |
ohman, buubot is gone>? |
| rindolf |
jim: yes! |
| rindolf |
jim: for the time being. |
| rindolf |
Don't know where buu is. |
| jim |
that's been one useful bot |
| mfontani |
eval: @a=1..4; (undef,@b)=@a; \@b |
| perlbot |
mfontani: [2,3,4] |
| DrForr |
jim: You've got several answers already. Do they not satisfy? |
| rindolf |
perlbot: define boaking |
| perlbot |
rindolf: No factoid found. Did you mean one of these: [debian perldoc] [define vrby : vrby] |
| rindolf |
jim: I think simcop has put the buubot code on github or something like that. |
| rindolf |
Well, good night @everyone. |
| rindolf |
An array . |
| jim |
DrForr: they do... it's all this stuff afterwards that has me closing, "spanish inquisition", "mafia breakaleg"... it's just unnecessary |
| jim |
rindolf: thanks |
| rindolf |
jim: well, we sometimes enjoy having fun. |
| DrForr |
Shrug. You're the one that brought up "may not be at liberty..." |
| rindolf |
jim: seems like thrig's main function, aside from being the benevolent dictator of #perl, is to interject short jokes. |
| thrig |
I make jokes about tall people, too |
| simcop2387 |
rindolf: yea i have |
| rindolf |
thrig: :-) |
| simcop2387 |
perlbot: source |
| perlbot |
simcop2387: check out my insides (i'm based off buubot, so ask him for his source if you really want to start); http://github.com/simcop2387/perlbuut/ or go to http://github.com/simcop2387/buubot/ |
| rindolf |
We can have notbuubot or buubot2 or something. |
| rindolf |
Well, buubot2 is varvarname. |
| rindolf |
;-) |
| thrig |
it's not going to be @buubot |
| rindolf |
thrig: LOL. |
