Perl 程式設計/函式參考

字串函式

`chomp`

操作

僅當最後一個字元被識別為記錄分隔符（例如換行符）時，才從字串中刪除最後一個字元。

返回

?

語法

chomp($String = $_);

示例

chomp; # removes the last character from $_ if it is a record separator
chomp(); # (same)
chomp($String); # removes the last character from $String if it is a record separator

另見

chop - 從字串中刪除最後一個字元

`chop`

操作

無論如何，從字串中刪除最後一個字元。

返回

?

語法

chop($String = $_);

示例

chop; # removes the last character from $_
chop(); # (same)
chop($String); # removes the last character from $String

另見

chomp - 從字串中刪除最後一個字元，如果它是記錄分隔符。

從字串中刪除最後一個字元（例如，從檔案讀取時刪除換行符）。

`chr`

print chr(65);  # Prints a capital A

獲取 ASCII 字元，給定其程式碼。

`crypt`

# One-way hash function
my $HashedWord = crypt($Word, $Salt);

(另見 MD5 )

鹽字串只需要兩個字元長，並提供了一種隨機化雜湊的方法，這樣，如果與不同的 $Salt; 值一起使用，同一個詞可以生成多個不同的雜湊值！

`hex`

print hex(11);  # Prints B

將數字轉換為十六進位制。

反過來 - 將十六進位制轉換為數字：print hex(11); # 列印 17

你可以使用

print sprintf("%X",11); # 列印 B

`index`

在一個字串中搜索另一個字串（參見 rindex 從末尾開始搜尋）。

$Result = index($Haystack, $Needle);
$Result = index($Haystack, $Needle, $StartPosition);

index("Some text", "bleh"); # Returns -1 (not found)
index("Some text", "Some"); # Returns 0 (first character)
index("Some text", "text"); # Returns 5 (sixth character)

特殊變數 $[ 總是新增到返回值中，但是 $[ 通常為 0，手冊建議保持它為 0。

`lc`

$Lowercase = lc($String);

將字串轉換為小寫。

`lcfirst`

將字串的第一個字元轉換為小寫。

`length`

print "String is " . length($String) . " characters long\n";

返回字串的長度。

`oct`

print oct(8);  # Prints 10

將數字轉換為八進位制。

`ord`

將字元轉換為數字。

print ord("A"); # prints 65

`pack`

接受一個列表，並使用提供的規則集將其轉換為字串。

my $String = pack($Template, @ListOfNumbers);
my $String = pack("CCCC",65,66,67,68); # Result: "ABCD"

$Template 可以由以下內容組成

   a	A string with arbitrary binary data, will be null padded.
   A	An ascii string, will be space padded.
   Z	A null terminated (asciz) string, will be null padded.

   b	A bit string (ascending bit order inside each byte, like vec()).
   B	A bit string (descending bit order inside each byte).
   h	A hex string (low nybble first).
   H	A hex string (high nybble first).

   c	A signed char value.
   C	An unsigned char value. Only does bytes. See U for Unicode.

   s	A signed short value.
   S	An unsigned short value. (Exactly 16 bits unless you use the ! suffix)

   i	A signed integer value.
   I	An unsigned integer value. (At least 32 bits wide, machine-dependent)

   l	A signed long value.
   L	An unsigned long value. (Exactly 32 bits unless you use the ! suffix)

   n	An unsigned short in "network" (big-endian) order.
   N	An unsigned long in "network" (big-endian) order.
   v	An unsigned short in "VAX" (little-endian) order.
   V	An unsigned long in "VAX" (little-endian) order. (Exactly 16 bits and 32 bits respectively)

   q	A signed quad (64-bit) value.
   Q	An unsigned quad value. (Only available if your system supports 64-bit integers and Perl has been compiled to support them)

   f	A single-precision float in the native format.
   d	A double-precision float in the native format.

   p	A pointer to a null-terminated string.
   P	A pointer to a structure (fixed-length string).

   u	A uuencoded string.
   U	A Unicode character number. Encodes to UTF-8 internally.

   w	A BER compressed integer. Its bytes represent an unsigned integer in base 128, most significant digit first, with as few digits as possible. Bit eight (the high bit) is set on each byte except the last.

   x	A null byte.
   X	Back up a byte.
   @	Null fill to absolute position.

每個字母可以選擇後跟一個數字，表示重複次數。

整數型別 s、S、l 和 L 可以直接後跟 ! 字尾，表示本地短整數或長整數。

`reverse`

反轉字串（在標量上下文中）或列表（在列表上下文中）。

my @ReversedList = reverse(@List);

# As commonly seen in Perl programs:
foreach( reverse( sort( @List )))
{
...
}

my $ReversedString = reverse($String);

my @List = ("One ", "two ", "three...");
my $ReversedListAsString = reverse(@List); # Prints "...eerht owt enO"

`rindex`

在一個字串中查詢另一個字串，從字串末尾開始搜尋。

$Result = rindex($Haystack, $Needle);
$Result = rindex($Haystack, $Needle, $StartPosition);

rindex("Some text", "bleh"); # Returns -1 (not found)
rindex("Some text", "Some"); # Returns 0 (first character)
rindex("abbbbb", "b");       # Returns 5 (first "b" found, when starting at the end)

`sprintf`

列印格式化的字串。

my $Text = sprintf("%d/%d is %08.5f", 1, 3, 1/3); # Result: "10/3 is 003.33333"

sprintf("Character: %c", 65);
sprintf("String %s", "Hello");
sprintf("Signed integer: %d", 15);
sprintf("Unsigned integer: %u", 15);
sprintf("Unsigned int (in octal): %o", 15);
sprintf("Unisgned int (in hex): %x", 15);      # Use %X to get upper-case output
sprintf("Binary number: %b", 15);
sprintf("Scientific notation: %e", 5000);      # Use %E to get upper-case output
sprintf("Floating point number: %f", 1/3);     # 0.3333333
sprintf("Floating point number: %g", 1/3);     # Decides between scientific and float. %G is uppercase
sprintf("Pointer: %p", $Variable);

使用 %% 獲取百分號。

使用 %n 請求到目前為止寫入的字元數，並將結果放入列表中的下一個變數中。您可能需要檢查使用者提供的格式化規則中不包含此程式碼。

sprintf("%02d", $Minutes);  # Forces leading zeros to make the string two characters long
sprintf("%1.5f", $Number);  # Limits the number of decimal places

substr

返回字串的一部分（一個子字串）。

格式：substr 字串 起始位置 長度

起始位置 是從零開始的。

負數表示從字串末尾開始。

$FirstLetter   = substr($Text, 0, 1);   # First letter
$First3Letters = substr($Text, 0, 3);   # First three letters
$Last3Letters  = substr($Text, -3);     # Last three letters

您可以在賦值語句的左側使用 substr 來更改字串的一部分。這實際上可以縮短或加長字串。

 $text = 'cat dog';
 substr ($mystring, 3, 1) = ' and ';  # $text now contains 'cat and dog'

`uc`

$Uppercase = uc($String);

將字串轉換為大寫。

`ucfirst`

將字串的第一個字元轉換為大寫。

$Number = log($X)/log(10);   # Returns log10($X). Alternately, you can use the log10() function in the POSIX module
$Number = log($X)/log(15);   # Returns log to the base 15 of $X

`oct`

# Interprets a string as octal, and returns its value
$Number = oct("10"); # Returns 8

列表函式

`grep`

# Returns a list of elements for which an expression is true
@TextFiles = grep(/\.txt$/, @AllFiles);
$NumberOfTextFiles = grep(/\.txt$/, @AllFiles);

# Can use a block of code instead of an expression

`join`

# Joins the items of a list into a single string
$OneItemPerLine = join( "\n", @List);
$EverythingBunchedTogether = join( "", @List);
$Filename = join( "/", ($Directory, $Subdirectory, $Filename));

# a list of the results
@UppercaseList = map(uc, @List);
@Numbers = map {"Number $_"} 1..100;

`reverse`

# Reverses the order of a list
@ReversedList = reverse(@List);
# In scalar context, concatenates the list and then reverses the string
$ReversedString = reverse('foo','bar','baz'); # gives 'zabraboof'

`sort`

# Sorts the elements in a list
@AsciiSort = sort(@RandomList);
@AsciiSort = sort @RandomList;
foreach $Item (sort @RandomList)
  {...}

# Can specify a function to decide the sort order

@NumericSort = sort {$a <=> $b} @RandomList;
@CustomSort = sort custom_function_name @RandomList;

`unpack`

將字串解包到列表中 - 詳細資訊請參見 pack() 函式的可用模板

關聯陣列函式

`delete`

%h = ('a'=>1, 'cow'=>'moo', 'b'=>2);
delete $h{cow};
# %h now contains ('a'=>1, 'b'=>2)

`each`

# Return the 'next' key/value pair (in a random order)
while (($key, $value) = each (%hash)) {
   print "$key => $value\n";
}

`exists`

 # Tests whether or not a key exists in a hash (even if the value for that key is undef)
 if (exists $hash{$key}) {
   print "\%hash contains a value for key '$key'\n";
 }

`keys`

 # Returns a list of all keys from the hash, in same 'random' order as each
 foreach $key (keys %hash) {
   print "$key => $hash{$key}\n";
 }

`values`

 # Returns a list of all values from the hash, in same 'random' order as keys
 foreach $value (values %hash) {
   print "\%hash contains a value '$value'\n";
 }

輸入和輸出函式

`binmode`

`close`

# closes a filehandle when it is no longer needed
close(STDERR); # hide debugging info from the user

`closedir`

# Close a directory open by opendir
closedir(DIRHANDLE);

`dbmclose`

`dbmopen`

`die`

退出程式，並將第一個引數以及當前檔案和行號列印到 "STDERR"。用於捕獲錯誤。

 die "Error: $!\n" unless chdir '/';

`eof`

eof FILEHANDLE
eof()
eof

如果在 FILEHANDLE 上進行下一次讀取將返回檔案結束符，或者如果 FILEHANDLE 未開啟，則此函式返回 true。FILEHANDLE 可以是表示式，其值為真正的檔案控制代碼，也可以是某種檔案控制代碼物件的引用。沒有引數的 eof 返回上次讀取檔案的末尾檔案狀態。帶有空括號 () 的 eof() 測試 ARGV 檔案控制代碼（最常見的是在 <> 中作為空檔案控制代碼）。因此，在 while (<>) 迴圈內部，帶有括號的 eof() 只能檢測到一組檔案中最後一個檔案的末尾。在 while (<>) 迴圈中使用 eof（不帶括號）來測試每個檔案。例如，以下程式碼在最後一個檔案的最後一行之前插入連字元

while (<>) {
    if (eof()) {
        print "-" x 30, "\n";
    }
    print;
}

另一方面，此指令碼會重置每個輸入檔案的行號

# reset line numbering on each input file
while (<>) {
    next if /^\s*#/;        # skip comments
    print "$.\t$_";
} continue {
    close ARGV if eof;      # Not eof()!
}

與 sed 程式中的 "$" 一樣，eof 往往出現在行號範圍內。這是一個列印從 /pattern/ 到每個輸入檔案末尾的行的指令碼

while (<>) {
    print if /pattern/ .. eof;
}

這裡，翻轉運算子 (..) 對每行評估模式匹配。在模式匹配之前，運算子返回 false。當它最終匹配時，運算子開始返回 true，導致這些行被列印。當 eof 運算子最終返回 true（在正在檢查的檔案的末尾），翻轉運算子重置，並開始對 @ARGV 中的下一個檔案再次返回 false
