Re^2: Remove zero padding from excel mangled Ip addresses

What "recent regex features" are you avoiding? If you mean the look around anchors, they have been there at least since Perl 5.8.8 (http://perldoc.perl.org/5.8.8/perlre.html) which was released before some Perl monks were born.

True laziness is hard work

I wasn't avoiding any in particular; just acknowledging that there are probably newer features which would make a simpler regex than my "capture the characters on each side to get rid of what's between them" method. But that's the method that comes to mind most easily for me, for whatever reason, so I thought a newbie might get something out of it as another way to do it. Aaron B.
