[joel]

Hi,

I need help with extracting digit from a string.

example:

here is the string i want to split into words and digits.

my $string = "abcd-efgh-ijkl-123.456.789"

i want

$word = "abcd-efgh-ijkl";

and

$digit = "123.456.789";



Thanks in advance,

Joel

You seem to have split it successfully yourself already. What's the
general pattern for your string and word/digit parts? Does the
digit part contain only digits and periods, and the word part only
letters and hyphens?

$word = "abcd-efgh-ijkl";
and
$digit = "123.456.789";

my($word, $digit) = $string =~ /(.*)-(.*)/;
