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

Here's one way:

my $message = sprintf('%d %s been loaded', $v, $v == 1 ? 'volume h +as' : 'volumes have')

Here's a demonstration:

C:\>perl -E "say sprintf('%d %s been loaded', $_, $_ == 1 ? 'volume ha +s' : 'volumes have') for 0 .. 9" 0 volumes have been loaded 1 volume has been loaded 2 volumes have been loaded 3 volumes have been loaded 4 volumes have been loaded 5 volumes have been loaded 6 volumes have been loaded 7 volumes have been loaded 8 volumes have been loaded 9 volumes have been loaded C:\>

Alternatively (simpler):

my $message = sprintf 'Volumes loaded: %d', $v;

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.
