Hi all. Is there a way to insert an arithmetic calculation into a substitute operation, keeping all "non-integers" AS THEY WERE ?
Example: $string="blah 10 20"; I need to add 5 to the 10, and add 7 to the 20. So after the substitution, $string will contain: "blah 15 27". ** Note - i MUST preserve the amount of <spaces> inside the string. I tried the following: $string =~ s/(\w+)(\s+)(\d+)(\s+)(\d+)/$1$2($3+5)$4($5+7)/; But, it becomes: "blah (10+5) (20+7)". Tried it w/out the parenthesis, with int($3+5) and with scalar($3+5). All ended with the same result. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Amit Koren.
