<0> rindolf: silly, you underestimate me!!
<1> In regular expressions, how do you search starting from the end of a string and going backwards, instead of from the beginning?
<0> rindolf: http://casey.shobe.info/code/xkb/dvorak.is
<2> anachronoks: $
<2> anachronoks: or \z
<3> anachronoks, or you could reverse the string 1st
<2> anachronoks: like: 'hello$'
<4> casey: ah, that's a worthwhile and respectable effort. difficult with English, however. We can't even get rough, cough, dough, through and too, two, and to straightened out :|
<5> infi: Mmmm. Yeah, it's a bit harder than old norse. It doesn't have the exact same grammar, as the old norse does... :)
<6> local $_ = scalar reverse $str;
<6> /../
<1> A couple of options. Okay, thanks!
<4> (among myriad other examples)
<6> Odin-LAP: Different languages that don't have the same exact grammar? I NEVER?!
<5> casey: Actually, that effort is really the product of nineteenth century romanticism. Up to that point, it just sorta kept by itself...



<5> avarab: Well, there's precisely nil change from old norse to modern icelandic, in grammatic terms.
<0> http://casey.shobe.info/images/index.php?a=preview&i=Icelandic%2Fislensku-dvorak-0.3.jpeg
<7> casey's url is at http://xrl.us/mk7c
<5> Er. No, that's not completely accurate. There's been a mess with pronoun plurals, due to the removal of formal addressing...
<5> Which happened in the last century, actually.
<8> hey all
<2> Hi brettnem
<0> Odin-LAP: hence the "somewhat"
<0> Odin-LAP: http://casey.shobe.info/images/index.php?a=preview&i=Icelandic%2Ficelandic_truck.jpeg
<7> casey's url is at http://xrl.us/mk7e
<4> being able to still read 1000+ year old literature with a modicum of effort would be very nice.
<9> hi all
<2> Hi ludan
<5> avarab: Annars. addna me essa leiguplingu.
<5> casey: Heh.
<8> hey, I have a problem with a simple number comparison.. $a=<stdin>;$a=~s/\n//g then $b=$ARGV[0].. doing a if ($a < $b) doesn't work as expected.. any ideas?
<4> rindolf: how much has hebrew changed over the ages?
<2> infi: well...
<0> infi: an wer ou haven difikilt ov reden angle-ish?
<4> casey: erm... "reden angle-ish" I presume :)
<8> any ideas? should be a simple prompt.. I tried both using < and "lt"
<2> infi: Biblical Hebrew is understandable to a large extent by modern speakers.
<8> er problem
<2> infi: don't expect me to understand Job, though.
<3> it is to me
<4> casey: er, I mean, no, no difficulty reading english, just something about Old English
<0> old english is absolutely nuts
<3> but modern hebrew was created whole-cloth starting in the late 19th century
<0> it's closer to Icelandic :)
<8> any perl advice for me?? anyone? ;)
<0> middle english is somewhat parseable, with effort.
<2> infi: but it's possible the Tanaic Hebrew is less understoodable.
<4> yeah, middle english isn't bad. Beowulf still gives me nightmares though :|
<2> infi: switch to MOSIX.
<8> I must have walked into the wrong group :/
<0> infi: we should convert the whole world to Icelandic.
<4> rindolf, ah, still very convenient compared to English. when was Job suspected to be originally written?
<2> brettnem: < should work.
<2> infi: don't know.
<4> casey: I'd prefer pre-simplification chinese..
<2> brettnem: lt is for string-wise comparison.
<8> rindolf: it doesn't.. when $a=2 and $b=1 it is returning true
<10> >:)
<5> infi: Hebrew, notably, was a 'dead language' for several centuries, though.
<5> So it's a bit like if somebody started using latin nowadays...
<2> eval: my $i = 2; my $j = 1; if (1) { print "Hello\n"; }
<2> eval: my $i = 2; my $j = 1; if ($i > $j) { print "Hello\n"; }
<2> The evalbot is dead.
<8> rindolf: I'm blown away by this.. really..
<4> ah, did not know that it wasn't active. neat that a language can be resurrected and reinjected into the popular vernacular, though.
<2> brettnem: perl -e 'my $i = 2; my $j = 1; if ($i > $j) { print "Hello\n"; }'
<2> brettnem: works for me.
<8> rindolf: I've done plenty of number compairisons in the past just fine.. it's just not working right now.. I have no idea what the problem is..
<8> of course it does!
<8> haha
<0> etta er tilgangslaust.
<2> brettnem: can you nopaste your code?
<2> perlbot: nopaste
<11> Paste your code here and #<channel> will be able to view it: http://sial.org/pbot/<channel>;
<8> rindolf: yeah, one sec..
<0> infi: just put some mythology behind something and make a few people believe it, and you can keep anything alive.



<4> touche'
<4> while I don't know if that applies in this case, the point is well taken.
<0> a er a fjka mig! g er a reiast!!!
<12> "brettnem" at 207.90.232.34 pasted "broken number compairison" (35 lines, 1.4K) at http://sial.org/pbot/17270
<13> MacGyver!
<13> \o/
<14> Oh you have ****ing got to be kidding me.
<14> perl's regex so --
<4> Daveman: talk about MacGyver. the crew of Apollo 13 got their CO2 filter working about using a sock, some cardboard, and some duct tape.
<14> why would it mark ^ as an anchor if it didn't occur as the first char.
<4> good thing NASA requires duct tape as standard equipment on all space flights.
<8> rindolf I feed it 9 when $currentID=1 it still says it's a valid ID. ??
<15> EvanCarroll: because figuring out when it's _truly_ impossible would be a real PITA
<13> infi: huhu :)
<8> rindolf: any ideas?
<13> Little did we know that RDA was on the NASA payroll!
<0> Odin-LAP: g setti mig httulega astu fyrir ig!
<13> :)
<0> you see, I know all the important phrases to get by, anyways ;P
<4> RDA?
<13> Evan, because it's soooooooooooo cooooooooooooool
<5> casey: O_o
<5> Whaaa?
<13> perlbot RDA is Richard Dean Anderson
<11> added RDA to the database
<4> oh, right.
<13> :)
<0> Odin-LAP: Eg a vera a grnast
<0> and my grammar is wrong.
<4> I dunno, after 7 years of MacGyver, seeing him as a military blockhead brandishing an automatic rifle just left a bad taste in my mouth.
<4> guess you gotta pay the bills somehow, though.
<10> GumbyBRAIN: angels doth dance
<16> Doth anyone know what file called me.
<5> casey: "g er a grnast" it'd be. :)
<0> Odin-LAP: Ekki "g var a grnast"?
<5> casey: Why do you know even that much, though?
<2> brettnem: why are you using lowercase-starting filenames?
<0> Odin-LAP: because it's my favorite language :D
<2> brettnem: and you should use chomp instead of s/\n//
<5> casey: Hm. If you want to use past tense, yes. Both would make sense in that context, though...
<8> rindolf: what's wrong with lowercase starting filenames??
<8> ok, I'll chomp it
<2> brettnem: I don't recall exactly, but they are not a good idea.
<0> Odin-LAP: and icelandic girls are fallegur :D
<17> I had the most delicious indian food for lunch today
<2> brettnem: can you try to reduce your code to a minimal version that still reproduces the problem?
<8> rindolf: I just can't understand how this couldn't just work.
<0> g elska a
<8> rindolf: yeah, I'll do that
<2> brettnem: have you tried using a debugger?
<8> rindolf: I've never used a perl debugger before.. got a link?
<2> brettnem: I find the studlyCaps hard to use.
<3> debugger?
<0> Odin-LAP: but I have not bothered to look at an icelandic book in several years :(
<2> perlbot: debugger
<2> perlbot: debug
<0> Odin-LAP: and never got terribly good with it.
<18> :
<3> heh
<18> ;
<2> brettnem: you can try http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture2/debugger/
<7> rindolf's url is at http://xrl.us/mk8b
<5> casey: I don't think it's much harder than german or stuff like that, actually. Maybe just try to keep picking at it, if you're interested?
<3> strangely, chatzilla didn't render either of those smileys
<2> Juerd: how do you type this char?
<2> brettnem: or perldoc perldebug
<8> I'm on it
