-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kasak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:22 AM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: split and grouping in regexp I'm trying to split a date where the values can be separated by a dash '-' or a slash '/', eg: 2006-10-31 or 2006/10/31 I'm using: my ( $yyyy, $mm, $dd ) = split /(-|\/)/, $yyyymmdd; but it doesn't work. If I just do: my ( $yyyy, $mm, $dd ) = split /-/, $yyyymmdd; it works for dates separated by dashes, and if I do: my ( $yyyy, $mm, $dd ) = split /\//, $yyyymmdd; it works for dates separted by slashes. Why can't I do both at the same time? -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
