perl pack question	Can't Post

say i have a string "0001001101111111",
want to convert it into
"0001-0011-0111-1111",

i can unpack it with "A4" x 4,
then use a for loop to join them.

but thought there's another quick easy way (shift ?) to avoid for loop.
any suggestions ?

thanks !

sorry i didn't get the full answer yet.

i can use join,
but if the string changes, some times 12 bits, sometimes 16 bits,
then i can use for loop.

is there a way to avoid it ?

What about trying this:

Code

s/([01]{4})/$1-/g;

Code

use strict; 
use warnings; 
 
my @str = qw( 0001001101111111 000100110111 ); 
 
for ( @str ) { 
    print join('-', unpack("A4" x (length($_)/4))), $/; 
}

outputs:
