NAME String::Util::Range - Find sequences in arrays & convert to range (e.g. "a","b","c","d","x",1,2,3,4,"x" -> "a..d","x","1..4","x") VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of String::Util::Range (from Perl distribution String-Util-Range), released on 2019-01-25. FUNCTIONS convert_sequence_to_range Usage: convert_sequence_to_range(%args) -> any Find sequences in arrays & convert to range (e.g. "a","b","c","d","x",1,2,3,4,"x" -> "a..d","x","1..4","x"). Examples: * basic: convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "d"]); # -> ["1..4", "x", "a..d"] * option: separator: convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "d"], separator => "-"); # -> ["1-4", "x", "a-d"] * option: threshold: convert_sequence_to_range(array => [1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "e"], threshold => 5); # -> [1 .. 4, "x", "a..e"] Sequence follows Perl's autoincrement notion, e.g. 1->2, "aa"->"ab", "az"->"ba", "01"->"02", "ab1"->"ab2". This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * array => *array[str]* * separator => *str* (default: "..") * threshold => *posint* (default: 4) Return value: (any) HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .

BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature. SEE ALSO Data::Dump also does something similar, e.g. if you say "dd [1,2,3,4,"x","a","b","c","d"];" it will dump the array as ""[1 .. 4, "x", "a" .. "d"]"".
