This does not do what I think you think it does. ;-)
This will try to call a function that is
Why not split it into an array first:
@fields =~ split(!/!, $string);
$index = $fields(3);
$value = $fields(5);
Just remember that arrays start at an index of zero so in each case
you will be asking for the field you want - 1.

A regexp replacemen
that's easy.
$index =~ s/^0*//;
if $index contained leading zeros they are gone, otherwise
nothing has happened.

Hi all,
I have sucked two substrings into two variables :
$index = substr $_, 35, 11;
$value = substr $_, 64, 6;
These variables may or may not have leading zero/s :
09/99/000999and so on.
If they do I need to strip away the leading zeros.
Any ideas?

Hi all,
I have sucked two substrings into two variables :
$index = substr $_, 35, 11;
$value = substr $_, 64, 6;
These variables may or may not have leading zero/s :
09/99/000999and so on.
If they do I need to strip away the leading zeros.
Any ideas?
Mark
