I've been tagged, so....

In response to Therin of Andor, who "tagged" me in comments to an earlier entry:

Follow these instructions:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your Blog/Live Journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.


My responses:

In addition to the /g modifier, substitutions may use the /i, /x, and /s modifiers that you saw in ordinary pattern matching. The order of modifiers isn't significant.

s#wilma#Wilma#gi; # replace every WiLmA or WILMA with Wilma
s{__END__.*}{}s; # chop off the end marker and all following lines

(Hey, I'm at work when I post this. Take what you can get.)

----

I hereby tag the following:

Psiqueue
RedJack
Kiran Kalyan
Mark Lopa
Andrew Timson

And if you're not one of those people and are reading this anyway...well...consider yourself tagged. I know, I know...it upsets the chi of the blogosphere, but call me a rebel.

Comments:
OK Rebel,

No DW I didn't say that with a straight face.

Page 123 Line 5,

"Rather than explain what was happening, you cold-cocked me, so fill me in," Will insisted. "And don't leave anything out." Will saw to it his voice was officious and all-business, indicating to his father there would be total honesty on this point."

I don't understand this tagging? When I was a kid it was illegal and involved spray paint.

What is the web version?

 
You know, tag, as in "Tag! You're it!"

I suppose spray paint would add a bit of flair to the proceedings.... ;)
