Re: removing square brackets

ruby -ne 'puts$1if/(-?\d(?:\.\d+)?)/' < data > munged
[download]

Update: To everyone griping and downvoting because it's not a perl solution, if you just change five characters (not counting s/ruby/perl/) it is valid perl. Have to leave something for the people asking extremely trivial questions yet providing no code of their own to figure out on their own . . .

(Hint: you need one more command line flag and change one keyword name)

Update 2: Awww, someone spoiled the exercise for the reader.
