And without using the @LAST_MATCH_START variable, because I thought it was an evil which tainted any other regex used in the program (though I may be completely mistaken in this)
perl -Mstrict -we 'my $string="random\ttab\tseparated\twords"; sub tab2space{my ($string,$spacing)=@_; while($string=~/\\t/){ print $string,"\n"; my $index=index($string,"\\t"); $string=~s/\\t/" " x ($index %8)/e; } return $string} for (0..80){print $_ % 10;} print "\n", tab2space($string) , "\n";' 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 +01234567890 random tab separated words
print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

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.
