Given the following snippet of code could someone explain to me why the linefeed gets included in $num?
mike@/deb40a:~/perl> perl -e' $str = "asdfggfh 987321qwertyyy\n"; ($num = $str) =~ s/^.*?(\d+).*$/$1/; print $num; ' | hd 00000000 39 38 37 33 32 31 0a |987321.| 00000007 Thanks, Mike -- Satisfied user of Linux since 1997.
