Re: Use Regular Expression to add spaces to a string

Any ideas?

The obvious way:

$oldstring = '123456789';;
$oldstring =~ s[(...)(...)(...)][$1 $2-$3];;

print $oldstring;;
123 456-789

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
