Hi all,

I've got a file with weird numbers that need to be reformatted. Here's a line from the file: 
1 1 4 1 0.225120000000000D+06 0.341913000000000D+07 1 1 1 661 660 660 
+659

I need to take the large numbers, add 30 to one of them, and then print them back out in a "normal" format. Here's what I have so far: 
#!/usr/sbin/perl -w

use strict;
...
if (/^\s+1/) {
     @info = split(' ', $_, 9999);

     $my_x = $info[4] + 0;
     $my_y = $info[5] + 30;

     for($i = '1'; $i <= $info[2]; $i++) {
          print ("$my_x $my_y $info[($i + 8)]\n");
          $my_y = $my_y + 30;    
     }
}
...

So far it works...kind of. Here's the output:

+em2xyz.pl line 33, <FILE> line 2.

It seems to always give me a warning the first time it tries to print the large numbers. After that, it doesn't seem to mind. Is there a way to convert the numbers in weird notation to their non-decimal counterparts without an error?

Thanks!
