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

You simplified it a lot by dropping $maxdigs. Put that back in and I doubt you'll have saved more than a keystroke or two. :) But thanks for the substr method; I like that.

substr("0000$1",-4) sprintf"%04.4d",$1 substr("0"x$maxdigs.$1,-$maxdigs) sprintf"%0$maxdigs.$maxdigs"."d",$1

When I saw the name chip, I wondered if it was you. Welcome to Perl Monks! I've run into your work many times and have been impressed.

If you know you don't need extra leading zeros, then you can also get away with:

grep{s/(^|\D)0+(\d)/$1$2/g,1} sort grep{s/(\d+)/sprintf"%06.6d",$1/ge,1} @sects;

Man, I shouldn't attempt this much thinking before breakfast.

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.
