Re: How do I use regex to strip out specific characters in a string?

Here is how I would do it:

$stamp = 'Wed 08/22/2001 2:38p';
my ($month,$day,$year,$time) = ($stamp =~ m|(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)\s+([\d:]
++[pa])|);
$time =~ s/://;

my $newstamp = join('_',$month,$day,$year,$time);

print "$stamp => $newstamp\n";

Output:
Wed 08/22/2001 2:38p => 08_22_2001_238p
