It is not just a matter of storage. For instance, some years ago one of my Perl scripts contained this
my ($star, $jd, $mag); while (<INPUT>) { if (/^Variable\s+(.*)/) { $star = $1 and next; } elsif (/^(245\d+\.\d+)\tV\t(.*?)\t/) { ($jd, $mag) = ($1, $2); $mag =~ s/\[/</ or $mag = sprintf “%.2f”, $mag; my ($year, $month, $day) = jd2gregorian ($jd + 0.5); printf “%s\t%.3f\t%s\tLEY\n”, $star, $day, $mag; } }
