Change the regexes if your data needs more complex parsing.

If you're using `split()`, I'd be inclined to do `split /(?=\d)/, $_, 2;`. It feels faster to me. _____________________________________________________ Jeff`[japhy]`Pinyan: Perl, regex, and perl hacker. `s++=END;++y(;-P)}y js++=;shajsj<++y(p-q)}?print:??;`	[reply] [d/l]
