You don't have to worry about the difference between \d and [0-9] unless you are dealing with non-Ascii characters. For Ascii, they are the same. For non-Ascii (e.g., UTF), \d will match additional numeric characters. Whether or not that is desirable depends upon your needs and expectations. As I never deal with non-Ascii characters, I can't make any recommendations on using or not using \d in those situations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
