Hello, I am looking for the $num to treated as a string and get the number of characters, in this case I am look for 3 to be returned.
Later I want to use this number to pad a string with zeros.... Thanks! Dave #!/usr/bin/perl -w $num =123; ($match) = ($num =~ m/(\d)/); print "$match \n"; # should print 3 __END__ ============================================== Cora Connection: Your West African Music Source Resources, Recordings, Instruments & More! <http://www.coraconnection.com/> ============================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
