I'd like to snag all the whitespace padded numbers in $_ into an array, e.g. in the following:
1 "M_fx,-3,+2.p2" -31.4e-1 4. I'd like to pick up only the 1, -31.4e-1, and 4. I've tried: $ss = qr/(^|\s)[+-]?[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*([eE][+-]?[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*)?($|\s)/; @list = m/$ss/g; ... but it slurps up the leading whitespace if it's there, and misses every other number, amid other problems. I'd love to use \b, but it doesn't work if there are "-" or "+" at the leading edge. Any good ideas on how to do this? - Bryan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
