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

Dear all,

I have a whole bunch (~66k) strings that are long (~400k characters). For all strings the same smallish number of columns need to be removed before the result is printed. So basically:

string1 = 0121012102??????????12121212???????? string2 = 0111011102??????????12111112???????? string3 = 0111011102??????????12111112???????? mask = 0001111111001111001111111 (etc.)

...and now only print out the characters in the strings that correspond with 1 in the mask, omitting the ones that have 0. I've tried doing this by splitting the strings and then taking array slices, but this is way too slow. I suspect there is some clever way if doing this with bitwise operators but I'm still confused how it works after reading the relevant PODs. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

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).
