Hi Group, Thanks for the help on the last question. Here is another i am having troubles with. Its a regular expression question. I have left out the rest of the script (which is working fine)
I am trying to convert a file with numbers like these 54.35 435.23 1.98 57 to this 00005435 00043523 00000198 00000057 This is what i am trying to use. print (s\.\\,(sprintf"%09.2f",$number)); I thought that perl would complete the inside brackets first Then the s\.\\ would operate on the result.
