Re: using split to assign a single variable

In the spirit of TIMTOWTDI:

I use this: my $version = '$Revision: 1.47 $'; and then I only have to parse out $Revision: and the trailing $'. And that can be done diffrent regex schemes, one method might be: $version =~ s/[^\d.]+//g; (Strip all but digits and .'s).

And here is one more way to do it! Its based on your use of $Revision:$ Check it out: `my($rcs) = (q$Revision: 1.37 $ =~ /(\d+(?:\.\d+)+)/);` [download] humbly -c	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I missed the forest for the trees on that one. The regex substitution is much easier and I frankly can't believe that I didnt think of it earlier. Talk about being so fixated on an issue that I missed the easy way out. VERY humbly -c	[reply]
