transform If-then-else statemt to ?: opeator statement	Can't Post

Hi everybody,

im searching for a way to transform ,
an if-then-else-fi statement, to an conditional operator one.

i mean, a script that transform thos code:
if Cond then Exp else Exp2 fi
to :
(Cond) ? (Exp) : (Exp2)

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do all the conditional blocks have a regular format, or does it vary e.g.

Code

if ($true) {      
     $name = 'Peter';      
}

is different from:

Code

if($true){$name='Peter';}

And is even more different from:

Code

if ((!defined $hash{$key}) and ($hash{'default'} == 9)) {    
$name = 'Peter';    
$age = 40;    
}

Chris

Thanks fo you intereset,
No they vay:
if ($a==1){
$b=1;
}else{
if ($a==2){
$b=3;
}
}

'else' is optionale,
'if' can be imbricated !

Hi,

Firstly what is your reason for doing this. The operator method is less readable than your original statements. Also, would it not be quicker to go through and do this by hand, unless of course you are dealing with hundreds or thousands of changes. It may take a while to write a script which performs your task to a suitable degree of accuracy (100%) if the statements aren't regular throughout.

Alright, ill have to have a think on this 1, could probably use a simple search and replace regex, but ill have to look carefully over your example data.
