i`ve written a script whose purpose is to put files in different
directories by its first later, the problem is that every file begins
with different chars for example "01 - Eminem Encore.mp3"
my question is how can i get to the first latter in the name (in this
case it was E), i need just the expression that does it.
/([a-zA-Z])/;
I think your version does the same as mine,
/^[^a-zA-Z]*([a-zA-Z])/
which looks somehow brain dead...
/([[:alpha:]])/;
my $first_letter = $1;
See `perldoc perlre` and search for 'alpha'. Sorry does not work with
UNICODE characters, just the lower 256.
