I have a data file with the following format:

3642 01:19:55 01-Jan-2001 134 51909 51750 1.509667E-07

Now to extract the time, date and last column, I thought
I'd use:


while(<DATA>) {
  
  /^(\d+) (\d\d:\d\d:\d\d) (\d\d-\D+-\d{4}) (\d+) (\d+\s+\d+) (\d.\d(E[+-])\d+) /;
  
  print "$2 $3 $6\n";
  
}

But I can't get the regx to get the "E-\d\d" term!!!

Please help!

BTW, it this a more efficient means to get data, or is split
better?
