how do i only get the first part from this? RTFRT_flu@23460@\GE_Machine <- replica:GE_Machine_KI@\GE_Machine
i get this value in $_, now i want to remove anything that is after <- including the arrow (what i want is: RTFRT_flu@23460@\GE_Machine) The arrow may point in the other direction, and the digits and letters are not similar all times. Any smart way using regexp or any other way? Also if anyone knows a really good page where they explain usage off regexps i would be glad, i have read the faq for regexp, and i didnt get so much wiser, i know the basics, but i really need to improve it. thanks //Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
