!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my $text = 'hello ' x 30;
printf "%-20s : %s\n", 'very important text', $text;
The output of this script looks more ore less like this:
very important text : hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
...
But I would like an output like this:
very important text: hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello hello
...
I forgot to mention: The text should have an开发者_StackOverflow open end in the sense that the right end of the textlines should align corresponding to the size of the terminal.
How could I change my script to reach my goal?
You can use Text::Wrap:
use strict;
use Text::Wrap;
my $text = "hello " x 30;
my $init = ' ' x 20;
$Text::Wrap::columns = 80;
print wrap ( '', $init, 'very important text : ' . $text );
Try this ,
use strict;
use warnings;
my $text = 'hello ' x 30;
$text=~s/((\b.+?\b){8})/$1\n /gs;
printf "%-20s : %s\n", 'very important text', $text;
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.010;
use Text::Wrap;
use Term::Size;
my $text = 'hello ' x 30;
my $init = ' ' x 22;
my( $columns, $rows ) = Term::Size::chars *STDOUT{IO};
$Text::Wrap::columns = $columns;
say wrap ( '', $init, 'very important text : ' . $text );
While I am not sure from your question precisely what format you would like your output in, I can tell you that the key to pretty output in the Perl language is to use formats.
A primer on how to use them to achieve pretty much any output formatting you would like is Perl format primer.
