i have this string extracted from a text file i'm writing a program to process:
test_freq = 1.0001; and i have to extract the "1.0001" i can't count on the whitspace being where it now is. I would like to change this line of perl $getTestFRQ =~ s/\D+//g; so that instead of killing all non digit characters, it will kill all non digit characters except for the period. How do i do this? thanks, ryan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
