Re: extract the value before a particualr string

If you don't like split, try regexes instead. Something like ...

if (/(\d+)\/total$/) {
   print "$1\n";
}

If you spot any bugs in my solutions, it's because I've deliberately left them in as an exercise for the reader! :-)

nanban, will it be possible to use split??? The first argument to split is a regular expression so it is really the difference between using capturing parens in a regular expression or using a regular expression to break the string into pieces but they are both regular expression solutions.
