I think you might have forgot that \w indeed accepts digits.

No i didn't forget. But its either a '\d' inside the '()' like this (\d\w+) or a '\s' outside like this \s(\w+) Do you see any big difference? Cause if you don't use either of them and write it like this `($_ =~ /.(\d\d).(\w+)/)` [download] Then the only thing that $2 will have inside, will be a single 'T'. So i suggest you study a bit of regex more, before coming to conclusions ``The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.'' TIMTOWTDI	[reply] [d/l]

The only thing you can take out is the first ' .* ' Which i put there for educational reasons, cause the guy doesn't know too much of regex, so there is no need to give him a hard time, yet. ``The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.'' TIMTOWTDI	[reply]
