Splice function

1 New Member

Hi all,

I am a newbie and trying to use splice function to read data from text file.
It seems the data doesn't have line breaks but only separated by spaces. All I know is that each row has specific byte size. I am wondering if there is any way to splice data if I know byte size of each row. I have tried by array indexing but that doesn't work very well (basically, it doesn't splice data uniformly).

Below is the code and piece of data

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
my @morenames = split(/\s+/, $data); 
 
for ($i=0; $i< 10; $i++)

{

my @someNames= splice(@morenames, 0, 39); 
 
print $someNames[0]."**\t". $someNames[2]."***\n"; 

}; 

close (FM);

bug in "splice" using IE6??

by: Gary N. | last post by:

Hi - I'm not sure if I've found a bug with the "splice" function or if I just need better documentation. Splice doesn't work quite how O'Reilly describes it (Javascript, 4th edition, Jan 2002, section 9.2.6, pg 144). I'm using IE6. var a = new Array( 1,2,3,4,5 ); document.write( a.splice( 0 ) ); // returns "", should return "1,2,3,4,5"

A solution for a fast std::list::size() *and* a fast std::list::splice()

If I'm not completely mistaken, the only reason why std::list::size() may be (and usually is) a linear-time operation is because they want std::list::splice() to be a constant-time operation, and if you execute the latter, the size of the resulting lists cannot be known without explicitly counting the sizes of the new lists.
