[00:57] *** Chanakan joined [01:07] *** jgaz left [02:20] *** deadmarshal_ left [02:43] *** deadmarshal_ joined [02:45] Anyone can help a raku beginner? I have this string 54 34 185.00 F♯3 G♭3 Fs3 Gf3 I am wondering what is the easiest way to put 54 in one variable, 34 in other, 185.00 in a third, then the last 4 elements in one list together. I was thinking of splitting the string on spaces, and then in the array I find 0, 1, and 2, but is there a way to easily put together all elements after the 3rd in a list? [04:25] pelevesque: No need to join things back together again; just don't split them apart! split takes an optional second argument to specify how many pieces to split the input into; try something like "$string.split(/\s+/, 4)" [05:16] I found a super good solution with simply using .words [05:16] Thanks for that notion about the argument in split, I did not know this! [05:17] I just came back today to Raku after months of Javascript only. God, it feels good. What a fantastic language. The best.

I always forget about that one [23:05] *** hudo_ joined [23:08] *** hudo left [23:35] *** hudo_ left [23:35] *** hudo_ joined
