Re: Re: Why are my numbers not numeric???

so does this mean that I can't pattern match numbers in a string like this - I should start out saving them all in an array? thanks!

Uhm, no, that doesn't mean it. \d+ matches a string of digits. If you want to match different type of numbers (decimal numbers, integers, reals, etc), you need different regexes. See the FAQ, or Regexp::Common. Abigail	[reply]
