I was trying to figure out what hashes were in some code. It was a new code base that I needed to become familiar with (no docs, naturally).
This command line does a pretty good job of making a hierarchical listing from the code. What would you do better?
rgrep -e'->' * | perl -ne '/(\S{3,80}->\S{5,80})/;print $1,"\n"' | pe
+rl -pe's/^\(//' | perl -pe 's/^\+\+|^\-\-//' | sort | uniq | less
It only picks up -> derefs but everyone here (ed:at the office) seems to code that way, so it's a win for me.
ed2: I didn't give an example of the output, which ends up looking something like this:
...
$people->{login}->{chair}->{color}=something
$people->{login}->{chair}->{height}->(blah)
$people->{login}->{chair}->{wheels} =~ etc
$people->{login}->{desk}->{paperclips}
$people->{login}->{desk}->{stapler}
...

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).
