| 21:04.58 | LrnChndlr | any perl experts present? |
| 21:05.15 | Hanuman | maybe |
| 21:05.30 | Jayce^ | perl users yeah.. but larry doesn't hang out here.. so no experts |
| 21:05.30 | Hanuman | I can pretend to be one sometimes |
| 21:05.49 | LrnChndlr | i am trying to do some string manipulations on strings that contain % characters, and my variables are all getting corrupted |
| 21:06.13 | Jayce^ | example |
| 21:06.34 | Hanuman | Jayce^: I had a whole sentence written out to say exactly what you just said |
| 21:06.39 | LrnChndlr | i'm trying to read in a cookie that has, at the end of it, something like this: |
| 21:07.00 | LrnChndlr | Comments%75this_is_a_comment |
| 21:07.08 | neybar_work | Hanuman: lol |
| 21:07.21 | Jayce^ | Hanuman, fear the lazy side :) |
| 21:07.29 | LrnChndlr | and I want to strip everything after the %75 and then re-write the cookie |
| 21:07.30 | Jayce^ | LrnChndlr, is it just uri encoded stuff? |
| 21:07.36 | Jayce^ | ah |
| 21:07.52 | LrnChndlr | jayc: I guess so |
| 21:07.53 | neybar_work | is the %75 consistant? |
| 21:07.57 | Jayce^ | you could un-uri the string, and split on the real char.. |
| 21:08.16 | LrnChndlr | i cant just treat the whole darn thing like text? |
| 21:08.18 | Jayce^ | or split(/\%/) |
| 21:08.29 | Jayce^ | LrnChndlr, yes, you can |
| 21:08.41 | neybar_work | split(/\%75/ |
| 21:08.42 | neybar_work | ) |
| 21:08.59 | Jayce^ | are there other %75's in there too? or just the one? other % chars? |
| 21:09.03 | LrnChndlr | i don't necesarily want to split it all up because there are a lot of other variables I am not concerned with |
| 21:09.09 | LrnChndlr | there are others |
| 21:09.15 | LrnChndlr | %75 and %20, etc |
| 21:09.39 | neybar_work | split it then rejoin minus the first array node |
| 21:09.47 | Jayce^ | k, then just split it in two (you can put a limit on splits) |
| 21:10.17 | Jayce^ | so the first %75, right? |
| 21:10.24 | LrnChndlr | guess i dont understand perl that well |
| 21:10.27 | Hanuman | !a split |
| 21:10.35 | LrnChndlr | no, it's the last %75 that I am concerned about |
| 21:10.48 | Jayce^ | split /PATTERN/,EXPR,LIMIT |
| 21:10.48 | LrnChndlr | want to get rid of everything after it. |
| 21:11.06 | Jayce^ | the last %75? so there are ones before it that you want to keep, right? |
| 21:11.10 | Jayce^ | variable amounts? |
| 21:11.12 | LrnChndlr | eah |
| 21:11.17 | LrnChndlr | yes |
| 21:11.54 | Jayce^ | s/\%75.*?$//; |
| 21:12.35 | Jayce^ | can optimize that a little, but basically, search for the first %75, and anything after it, from the !BACK!, and remove it from the string |
| 21:12.35 | neybar_work | so in your example if you had Comments%75this is a comment you want to keep Comments? |
| 21:13.17 | neybar_work | and just curious where is your input comming from? |
| 21:13.18 | Jayce^ | Comments%75this is a comment%75something else |
| 21:13.29 | Jayce^ | mine would get rid of the last part, but leave the first |
| 21:13.38 | Jayce^ | is that what is wanted? |
| 21:13.58 | LrnChndlr | no, i want to get rid of the comment text and just leave 'Comment%75' at the end of the text |
| 21:14.17 | Jayce^ | ok, so leave the %75 then.. |
| 21:14.47 | LrnChndlr | i think Jayce's example will work if I can figure out how to get scalars to keep the % stuff as text |
| 21:14.48 | Jayce^ | s/\%75.*?$/\%75/; |
| 21:15.02 | Jayce^ | just backslash them.. |
| 21:15.36 | Jayce^ | s/(\%75).*?$/$1/; <- same thing, just using capturing instead of the hardcoded string |
| 21:16.38 | neybar_work | backslash will escape any character to be basically an ascii char instead of what ever special meaning it may carry, unless you are backslashing a already normal char, then it may inherit meaning. ex \% = %, \n = newline |
| 21:16.40 | LrnChndlr | ack |

| 21:18.35 | Jayce^ | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:18.36 | Jayce^ | Comments%75 |
| 21:19.07 | Jayce^ | capturing does the same |
| 21:19.25 | Jayce^ | show us your regex.. |
| 21:19.43 | LrnChndlr | right now it's $testterm =~ s/Comments\%75.*?$/Comments\%75/; |
| 21:20.04 | LrnChndlr | then 'print $testterm' |
| 21:20.52 | Jayce^ | nothing else is modifying it? |
| 21:21.14 | Jayce^ | is the shell getting to it? |
| 21:21.16 | Jayce^ | before perl? |
| 21:21.18 | LrnChndlr | could be |
| 21:21.40 | LrnChndlr | well, i am also using a CGI method to get the string in in the first place |
| 21:21.48 | Jayce^ | hrmm |
| 21:22.02 | Jayce^ | because that regex isn't wrong, that's for sure |
| 21:22.18 | Jayce^ | print testerm right before the manipulation.. |
| 21:23.27 | LrnChndlr | ./strip.pl testterm="Comments%75garbage" |
| 21:23.27 | LrnChndlr | Commentsugarbage |
| 21:23.45 | LrnChndlr | here is the entire script, it's only a few lines |
| 21:23.59 | LrnChndlr | #!/usr/bin/perl |
| 21:24.00 | LrnChndlr | use CGI; |
| 21:24.00 | LrnChndlr | $ss = new CGI; |
| 21:24.00 | LrnChndlr | $testterm = $ss->param(testterm); |
| 21:24.00 | LrnChndlr | print $testterm."\n"; |
| 21:24.00 | LrnChndlr | $testterm =~ s/Comments\%75.*?$/Comments\%75/; |
| 21:24.02 | LrnChndlr | print $testterm."\n"; |
| 21:26.36 | Jayce^ | something in CGI is manipulating it.. need to find that then |
| 21:26.53 | Jayce^ | or in your shell in passing it to perl |
| 21:28.23 | neybar_work | I keep reading that as comments sugar bage... that doesn't make sense |
| 21:29.43 | neybar_work | you might try setting a variable in your test script instead of passing it in through the cli |
| 21:30.31 | Jayce^ | good idea |
| 21:46.11 | Hanuman | does ./strip.pl testterm='Comments%75garbage' (single-quotes) give you any different output? |

| 21:50.18 | LrnChndlr | no |
| 21:50.49 | Hanuman | ok - go w/ Jayce^ and neybar_work's advice then |
| 21:51.26 | Hanuman | with a vengence |
| 21:51.49 | LrnChndlr | i think i just need to pay someone else to do this project |
| 21:52.37 | sjansen | Depressing. |
| 21:54.02 | Hanuman | LrnChndlr: at least you're learning Perl - that's what matters most ;-) |
| 21:54.13 | Hanuman | Don't give up - we're rooting for you |
| 21:55.30 | LrnChndlr | it seems to be the CGI stuff that is screwing up the text in the variable before it even gets to the regex |
| 21:55.40 | LrnChndlr | so i dont know what to do about that |
| 21:56.24 | LrnChndlr | i have to get the cookie somehow, and the only way i know is via the CGI $query->cookie('cookie_name'); function |
| 21:57.04 | LrnChndlr | there is a raw_cookie() function that doesn't screw it up, but that gives the entire cookie header, not just the contents of a single cookie |
| 21:58.09 | Hanuman | LrnChndlr: You can read the cookie directly from the HTTP headers rather than use CGI |
| 21:58.21 | Hanuman | it's been awhile, though so I'd have to look it up - I'm sure you could find it on Google |
| 21:58.39 | Hanuman | mod_perl is a whole different world when it comes to cookies |
| 22:01.19 | Hanuman | I think CGI has some parsing methods to handle things like the %75's, too though |
