in thread Array: inserting what isn't there

A simple test shows that "12345" =~ /^(\d+)/ matches the entire string, as predicted. I'm not sure why you find that mysterious. {grin} I have a book that spends three chapters talking about regular expressions, if you need that level of instruction.

    Oh, I'm finding the whole world outside of the Java bubble to be mysterious, and pretty freaking simpler! Yet having only about 20 minutes a month to spend on playing with learning Perl makes me sort of a perpetual newbie, so I've always got something to learn.

    Thanks for the book recomendation. Can I borrow a copy? ;)

    Cheers!
