Matching a part of a string

[TonyShirt]

I have a string "FILEVERSION 1,01,0,21\n"
I want to match only the numbers "1,01,0,21"

i'm using /([0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+)/
but I'm still getting the whole string. Why? I know its easier (At
this point) to just split the string by \s, but I just cant give it
up!

Since we are not mind readers in this group, you need to post a short
but complete program that illustrates the problem. If you do, somebody
can point out what it is you are doing wrong.

there probably is somemthing wrong with how you are 'getting' it

my $x="FILEVERSION 1,01,0,21\n";
print "gotit: ($1)\n" if $x=~/([0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+,[0-9]+)/;

This makes sense -- I was struggling becuse I thought that $x contain the match.
Thanks for the help! Tony

I personally don't like it when values in variables morph into a
different meaning. Also, FILEVERSION 1,01,0,21,Alpha...
