Re^2: remove chars with regex

I think that would return the middle part but not result in "(5 chars) ... (5 chars)". More like

$ perl -Mstrict -wE'my $char = "0x388c818ca8b9251b398a736a67ccb19297";
substr($char, 5, -5, " ... "); say $char'
0x388 ... 19297

(assuming the string is long enough)

To remove the middle instead of keeping the middle, you could use `substr( $char, 5, -5, "" ); # In-place` [download] or `my $output = substr( $char, 0, 5 ) . substr( $char, -5 );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
