If they are all in fixed positions you can use substr repeatedly to extract the values
or you can use a regular expression and assign from the
$1-$9 variable.
perldoc -f substr
perldoc perlre
the regular expression code would look something like
$filename='XX-ZZ-YYYYMMDDHH'
$filename =~ /^(\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/;
# $1 is XX, $2 is ZZ, and so on

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
