Re^3: requesting small regex

magine that those were not automatically converted to HTML codepoints.

Posting (small) quantities of Unicrap is the one time (I think) that <pre></pre> tags are justified.

I'm guessing that \P is 'not the named class'; and that {Alnum} is alpha-numeric. Is theRE no \P{Numeric}?

I'm guessing that \P is 'not the named class'; Good guess and that {Alnum} is alpha-numeric. Is theRE no \P{Numeric}? Yes, but it is spelled \P{Digit}. perldoc perlre has details. Note: I am replying more for the OPs benefit then yours. I am fully aware that you know about perldoc perlre, and are likely a far better perl programmer than I. Cheers BTW the OP DID want to split on non-alphanumerics not just non-numerics. Ok, (s)he did say non-alphanomerics but... ;-)	[reply]
