Re: No clear answer from Oracle

If the regex works I'd stick with that. (I don't think it's ugly at all. From what I get of LW's writings that is what Perl was ment to do.) Number::Format::Calc allows you do work directly with arbitrary formats but It looks like a lot of syntactic overload to me. YMMV.

s//----->\t/;$~="JAPH";s//\r<$~~/;{s|~$~-|-~$~|||s |-$~~|$~~-|||s,<$~~,<~$~,,s,~$~>,$~~>,, $|=1,select$,,$,,$,,1e-1;print;redo}

Well the regexp "just works" but I feel uneasy with it (treating a number as a chain to convert it back to number... blech). I'll keep it if I can't tweak the $ENV... Thanks.	[reply]
