Write a rot13 program in one line

[Ender]

it must do IO as well

[Sidoh]

Code: [Select]

<?php for($i=0;$i<strlen($_GET['chars']);$i++){$char=substr($_GET['chars'],$i,1);$ca=ord($char);echo((($ca>96&&$ca<123)||($ca>64&&$ca<91))?chr((($ca>96&&$ca<122)?(122-$ca>=13)?($ca+13):(97+(13-(123-$ca))):((90-$ca>=13)?($ca+13):(64+(13-(90-$ca)))))):$char);} ?>

You can't use semicolons, it's no longer a single line!

Here's a real one-liner, no semicolons or nothing, handles upper/lower case and punctuation properly:

foreach(<>){foreach(split(//)) { print (((ord($_) > 0x40 && ord($_) < 0x5b) || (ord($_) > 0x60 && ord($_) < 0x7b)) ? chr(((ord($_) - (ord($_) < 0x61 ? 0x41 : 0x61) + 13) % 26) + (ord($_) < 0x61 ? 0x41 : 0x61)) : $_)}}

Then replace $ca with ord(substr($_GET['chars'],$i,1)) and I win

The one I did did that too...

[Ender]

Good job!

Next challenge: Write it in less than 25 characters.

You lose!  Using PHP is cheating anyways, you don't have to do I/O

The one I did did that too...

I know, I was just saying..

[Sidoh]

You lose

Lies and deceit.

[iago]

Mmm, not likely, I doubt I could do less than about 150, including i/o...

Best I can do in Perl, without using CGI, is 73 chars, only works on uppercase/no punctuation:
foreach(<>){foreach(split(//)){$i=ord($_);print chr($i<110?$i+13:$i-13)}}

Hehe, there's a trick to it. There's a very very quick way to do IO (both an input and an output) in perl (what may be two lines may count as one line, but usually one of the lines I am talking about is not considered a line).

[rabbit]

include('a'); echo r($d);

I win.

[Ender]

lol no stop looking for workarounds you guys!

Plus, I was vague about what I meant by two lines. There's only one semi-colon (or line-terminating character excepting crlf).

EDIT: K, I'm just going to stop being ambiguous, sorry for being it before. The challenge is 25 characters or less excluding the #! shebang. It can be done in one line (excluding the shebang, and by line I mean a programming statement) but this is not a requirement (although there may be no two-line 25-char-satisfying solution to this). And any external sources or binaries that you use cannot assist you in doing the rot13.

[iago]

exec('rot13');

I win. 

[Ender]

Okay, here's the answer that involves 25 chars or less. Being only one line, we may as well run this one in interactive mode.

Code: [Select]

perl -p -e "tr/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/;"

Cool eh? It uses transliterations instead of looping through every character in a string.

Edit: You'll never want to go to rot13.com again! =P

[iago]

I was wondering if it could be done using tr///, but I didn't know how.  Huh!

[Newby]

That whole line is 37 characters. Eh?
