Tonight one of my friends asked for a quick way to filter a stream, which consisted of lines like He needed to get everything that followed :CPONKT: and print it. Standard Perl stuff. So me and my other two friends quickly made a brainstorming session (this was happening on IRC) and we came up with the following (untested) solutions:
Of course, some of these solutions look a bit fishy (like the split one), but I was really amazed about the TIMTOWTDI effect. It is the first time that I see this so explicitly. It also shows that different programmers think differently, which is also pretty unusual for me, as I come from PHP background. Sure, I've heard of TIMTOWTDI before, but today it has opened my eyes ;) How would you solve the problem? Are there still more ways of solving this particular task?
