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

I could not resist giving a functional and expensive solution to the problem with pairwise function from List::MoreUtils.

my $mask = '001111100'; my $str = 'AGACGAGTA'; my @mask = split( '', $mask ); my @str = split( '', $str ); my $masked = join '', pairwise { $a ? 'x' : $b } @mask, @str; print "Masked: $masked\n";
And now using regexes:
my $mask = '001111100'; my $str = 'AGACGAGTA'; my $masked = ''; while ( $mask =~ /\G(.)/gc ) { # walk the mask my $bit = $1; if ( $str =~ /\G(.)/gc ) { # walk the string to be masked $masked .= $bit ? 'x' : $1; } } print "Masked: $masked\n";

Probably it could be improved in space if mask is represented as a bit vector and there is an iterator to walk the mask just like $mask =~ /\G(.)/gc is doing.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
