Pattern Match all combinations
This one has been driving me crazy. Mike's solution works, but what if it was a 6 character string? Maybe a regex wouldn't be the best option. There's a quantifier - {MIN,MAX} which means "match MIN times but no more than MAX times" which might do the trick but I can't seem to get it... -
Pattern match assistance
Actually, I was thinking if there was a space in the path.. mine won't work if there's a space in the filename. -
Pattern match assistance
this could work too.. in case there's a space in the filename m ~ ( /.*/ # everything between first and last slash \w+ # followed by a word \. # a dot \w+) # another word ~x; -or- m~( /.*/\w+\.\w+)~x; -
%searchengines=( "MSN","http://sear
ok.. I can see what it's doing now. It's looking for a sentence starting and ending with the values in %startindexstring and %endindexstring in the case of MSN - the sentence to look for is: "of about 841 containing" %startindexstring = "of about" (a sentence that starts... -

%searchengines=( "MSN","http://sear
That's what it seems like.. check out this comment: #the following string represent the criteria needed to parse through #the HTML page to find link popularity what is this script for exactly? It's hard to tell without seeing the entire script. -
%searchengines=( "MSN","http://sear
It looks like it's searching the html for the number of hits a search produced. The number represents the distance (offset) of the number from... something. The search engine websites may have changed their wording since that script was written, because I can't seem to find any correlation. -
Rounding
Out of curiosity, I performed a crude test to see the difference in speed by rounding the same number 10 million times... OpenWater's method was indeed the fastest at a blistering 16 seconds. it seems my silly clusterf**k of a program wasn't as slow as I thought it would be - it was tied with...
