Re^3: Problem With Split

Well the number changes each time so I couldn't just use int '0019'.

uh? so what's the problem? use int $num, like i showed you.
$num can be anything you want. this code will take a string consisting of digits with leading zeros and remove them. why would you think that it works only on the string '0019'?

Also my @splat = $thing =~ m/\d{4}/g; only sets @splt = ('1234');

see Happy-the-monk's answer. maybe your perl is broken.

It's not that I thought it only worked on the string '0019'. When I had first typed you code and did: `foreach (@splat) { print $_, "\n" }` [download] I only saw 1234 printed, so I figured you then wrote the int '0019' because `@splat = $thing =~ m/\d{4}/g;` only sets the first one. However, I did it again, I really don't know what I changed, but it worked this time. Thanks. And sorry for the confusion.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
