mmittiga17 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi All, I am trying to increment the following number in Perl but it wont do it: AA825944001 --> AA825944002
I have tried the following and it does not work, it returns 1
$TranNum= $fields[12] +1; $fields[12] =~s/$fields[12]/$TranNum/g;
I assume it has to do with the alpha characters, but I have thousands of numbers in a column that I need to increment by 1. Any help will be appreciated.
