| Randal | Yes - Perl in a nutshell is gappish deliberately |
| Symian | I imagine so |
| Randal | if you like perlboot, the alpaca is more of that |
| Symian | Ok - I'll pick it up and earn you like 10 cents in royalty. |
| Randal | no - just borrow it |
| Symian | thanks! |
| Randal | I don't need your pennies. :) |
| Symian | nah, I destroy code books. Sorry if that offends you or anything, but I mark things up earmark |
| Randal | or see it on safari.ora.com heh |
| Symian | and whatnot |
| Randal | ok |
| eduhat | hey guys |
| jellybean | how can i gunzip a string with perl |
| Monie | How do I get a regex to only work with numbers? |
| Hammit | jellybean: IO::Uncompress::Gunzip on cpan? |
| jellybean | ya |
| Monie | Like with a perl bot when someone searches for something, It only allows numbers to be searched and words. |
| Sephiroth | Monie: Try a regular expression. |
| Chris62vw | Monie, pretty easy |
| Hammit | Monie: if ($search_text =~ /^\d+$/) { print "something :)\n" } |
| Chris62vw | or !/\D/ |
| Hammit | :o |
| Monie | k |
| Symian | You know what's kind of fun? Typing in mostly random regexps into a 'perl -n -e "print if /blah/"' and putting it through your entire hard drive to see what matches. equally fun is using /dev/urandom |
