Hi,
I have a string of numbers that I need to do some work over. The string looks like
000000000000022102840002210284

[download]
This is three groups of 10 digits, each group will have leading zeroes to pad it to 10 digits. The first group will almost always be all zero, but not always.
I have tried the following line, but it matches the whole group: 
$split[1]=~s/(\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d)(\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d)(\d\d\d\d\d
+\d\d\d\d\d\d)/$1/;

Can anyone suggest an alternative regexp to obtain the three groups of 10 digits?

Thanks
Neil
