calculation in string

[Daniel]

I've a dynamic variable
$var_tmp = "/18";
where the "/18" can also be "/18+100"
I also got a variable
$var_prize = 2000
now the thing is I have to get this
$var_total = 2000/18+100;

anybody knows how this works ?!?

eval? rtfm?

Yours does not work.

2000 / 18 + 100 = 211.111111111111111111111111111111

2000 / (18 + 100) = 16.9491525423728813559322033898305


Give this some thought.

$var_total = $var_prize . $var_tmp; ??

$var_total = eval($var_tmp);
will do what you want.

Also, alt.comp.lang.perl & comp.lang.pelr are very rare if not virtually
extinct news groups. I don't think too many people get them. Though there
seems to be SOME activity in those two said groups...

Or is alt.comp.lang.perl just a lesser known group?

alt.comp.lang.perl is a legit alternative to the mainstream Perl groups.
comp.lang.perl has been decommissioned many years ago -- it *shouldn't*
exist anywhere, but a sizeable minority of news server still carry it.
