RTFRT_flu@23460@\GE_Machine) The arrow may point in the other direction, and the
digits and letters are not similar all
times. Any smart way using regexp or any other way?
split method :
my ($pick, $kick) = split /<\-/, $_, 2;
$pick is what you want.
regex method :
$_ =~ s/^(.+)<\-(.+)$/$1/;
$_ only retain the first part.
