Hey Chaoz,
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
open(FILE,'<file.txt') or die "Can't open file.txt: $!\n";
my @text=(<FILE>);
close(FILE);
for(@text) {
/(d+)$/; # Match only the numbers at the end of the string
# and store them in '$1' to be printed out on the
# next line followed by a new line character
print $1,"\n";
}
exit;
</code>
