`int( $string > 3 )` should be `int( $string ) > 3`. You'll still get the warning unless you turn it off, though. `my $string = "1:00"; if ( do { no warnings qw( numeric ); int( $string ) } > 3 ) { say ">= 4"; } else { say "< 4"; }` [download] It would be clearer to use `>= 4` than `> 3`. And if you do that, you don't even need `int`. `my $string = "1:00"; if ( do { no warnings qw( numeric ); $string >= 4 } ) { say ">= 4"; } else { say "< 4"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> tho with 1:00, isn't working Because ":" is not "." Use `@digits = split /[:.]/, $string` And pick what you need For anything more complicated, better consider a dedicated DateTime module. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l]
