Hi All,
https://docs.perl6.org/routine/words
is no help
Not to ask too obvious a question, but why does words use a []
instead of a () ?
$ ls -al Win10_1803_English_x64.dd
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 todd root 7927234560 May 9 21:14 Win10_1803_English_x64.dd
$ ls -al Win10_1803_English_x64.dd | p6 'my $x = slurp(); say $x.words[4]'
7927234560
This is not the forth word:
$ ls -al Win10_1803_English_x64.dd | p6 'my $x = slurp(); say $x.words(4)'
(-rwxrwxrwx. 1 todd root)
Many thanks,
-T
Another way to read a pipe. The "n" must come before the "e"
$ ls -al Win10_1803_English_x64.dd | perl6 -ne 'say $_.words[4]'
