NAME

String::Increment::Parts - Increment string parts (numbers or letter sequences)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of String::Increment::Parts (from Perl distribution String-Increment-Parts), released on 2026-07-22.

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

increment_string_parts

Usage:

increment_string_parts(%args) -> any

Increment string parts (numbers or letter sequences).

This routine takes a string and splits it into a list of (uppercase letter sequences, lowercase letter sequences, 0-9 sequences [nonnegative integers], or anything in between). After that you can tell it to increment the letter/number sequences.

This routine is handy when you want to generate a serial sequence of codes.

Note that for incrementing letters, Perl's auto-increment or auto-decrement is used. If you instruct the function to increment by 100 (set inc argument to 100), it will do so 100 times.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • all_indexes => bool

    (No description)

  • filename => bool

    Treat string as filename and do not include the extension as parts.

  • inc => int (default: 1)

    (No description)

  • indexes => array[int] (default: [-1])

    (No description)

  • n => posint (default: 1)

    How many times to repeat the increment and return the result.

  • string* => str

    (No description)

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
