Regarding the unwanted items in your report: There are three general ways to approach it:

  1. Remove unwanted characters before counting,
  2. Delete them after counting but before reporting, or
  3. Delete or ignore them during the report.

Each method has situations where it is better than the others, but frequently any of them are good enough. Examples:

# Case 1: don't count unwanted characters for my $char(@letters) { ++$charCount{$char} if $char !~ /[a-zA-Z]/; } # Case 2: delete unwanted characters my %t = %charCount; $t{$_}=$charCount{$_} for grep {/[a-zA-Z]/} keys %charCount; %charCount=%t; # Case 3: ignore unwanted items during report for my $char (sort keys %charCount) { next unless $char =~ /[a-zA-Z]/; # print report entry }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
