Fellow Pilgrims on the Perl Monks Monastary,

A quick question regarding a split

Given: 

my ($session_id, $last_action_date, $last_action_time) = $session =~ /
+^(\d\d)-(\d{10})-(\d{8})$/;

[download]

Do i Have to do anything extra to get $session_id on is own, as I cant get it to display on the page, using a standard process

My belief is that the my (xxx) is an array, if so how do I split that up?

UPDATE: Sorry guys your right i copied from the other monitor wrong

Basically, i have a session which is for example 01-2006-05-19-13:00:00

so the first two digits are the session id

2006-05-19 (10 digits) is the session date

13:00:00 (8 digits) is the session time,

As the session is initially generated by Class::Date, hence - and :

So any help would be useful as I originally got the above code line from an earlier node that I authored, and the above code line was a reply

update 2: yes iut does have {} its just a fuzzy monitor, its on a laptop i just plugged it into a fuzzy monitor, and by the way I do have glasses

Update 3: Since this is being difficult, coz Im writing my own session management software, how about a way to remove characters from a $session say remove / and the :, suggestions

Code Source

Yours
Bazza
