in thread Looking for ideas: Converting a binary 'flags' field into something human readable

Or?

flags1 => 0b010011000010000010100000000010000000000000010100000000 +0000000111; # | || |that | | |and another | |bar + up||| # |this |something else |foo + down| # |deleted | other + sideways| # |compressed

    I'd like to see the code that determines how to compress those together :)

      Not optimal and missing the "icycles" on the first line, but seems to work:

        Touché!

        (Removed the "Almost :)" which was added in the light of Monk::Thomas' post; before he added the bit about downloading it wrong.)

        Hmm. Looks quite strange. But I like the idea to try to keep all annotations on the same line and if that is not possible create a new line:
            flags1 => 0b0100110000100000101000000000100000000000000101000000000000001111;
        #                | compressed   | other     | and another  |foo             | up
        #                   | deleted                                | bar           | down 
        #                    | this       | something else                            | charm
        #                         | that                                               | strange
        
        Thanks!

        Update

        Downloaded the code via wget using the download link. Output looks a lot better after converting from DOS to UNIX file format.

      use strict; use warnings; my @labels = ({label=>'compressed',start=>3}, {label=>'deleted',start= +>6}, {label=>'this',start=>7}, {label=>'that',start=>12}, {label=>'other',start=>18}, {label=>'something else',sta +rt=>20}, {label=>'and another',start=>30}, {label=>'foo',start=>4 +5}, {label=>'bar',start=>47}, {label=>'up',start=>63}, {label=>'down',start=>64}, {label=>'sideways',start=>65} +); print "0b0x00xx0000x00000x0x000000000x00000000000000x0x000000000000000 +xxx\n"; my (@lines); # for each label LOOP: foreach my $lab (@labels) { # look thru the available lines foreach my $line (@lines) { my $delta = $lab->{start} - length($line); # for a line shorter than start if ($delta >= 0) { # and tack the label on there $line .= ' ' x $delta . '|' . $lab->{label}; next LOOP; } # or fit into empty space on existing line my $len = length($lab->{label}) + 1; if (substr($line, $lab->{start}, $len) eq ' ' x $len) { substr($line, $lab->{start}, $len,'|' . $lab->{label}); next LOOP; } } # or create a new line if needed push @lines, ' ' x $lab->{start} . '|' . $lab->{label}; } print "$_\n" for @lines;

      UPDATE: added comments, added fitting new label into blank space, improved flow
