I like blokhead's glob()-based solution. Here is one that is based on binary arithmetic (aka bit fiddling).

Essentially, filling in the dashes in a template amounts to counting upwards the bits indicated by dashes while keeping the other bits unchanged. For n dashes, this results in 2**n values. The subroutine increment_masked() below does one counting step arithmetically, given a value and a mask indicating the original position of dashes.

To expand a template of zeroes, ones, and dashes, extract from the template a mask (a number with 1-bits where dashes were, 0-bits otherwise), and a starting value (a number with zeroes where dashes were, other bits unchanged from the template). Apply increment_masked() appropriately to the starting value and collect the results. This is what the sub expand() does.

The final result is achieved by mapping expand() over the given templates.

my @data = qw( 000- 0101 011- 1-0- ); my @res = map expand( $_), @data; print "@res\n"; sub expand { my $template = shift; my $n_dashes = $template =~ tr/-//; my $mask; # ones where - was, else 0 ( $mask = $template) =~ tr/01-/001/; my $val; # zeroes where - was, else unchanged ( $val = $template) =~ tr/01-/010/; $_ = oct "0b$_" for $mask, $val; # transform to numeric my @coll = $val; push @coll, $val = increment_masked( $val, $mask) for 1 .. 2**$n_dashes - 1; @coll; } # Increment the combined unmasked bits as a single binary number, # leaving masked bits alone. Masked bits are indicated by a 0-bit in # the mask, unmasked bits by 1 sub increment_masked { my ( $x, $mask) = @_; ( ( ($x | ~$mask) # fill masked bits with 1 + 1 # increment (carry will jump over... # masked stretches) ) & $mask) # clear masked bits, leaving... # incremented bits alone | ($x & ~$mask); # restore masked bits from $x }

Update: Typos corrected
Much later update: Added comments to sub increment_masked()

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.
