Problem: I have a field $cusip that has to change from ABC123-XX-7 (9 characters with '-') to ABC123XX (first 8 characters only without '-')
I have following lines of code: : : $cusip =~ s/\-//g; $cusip =~/.${8}$/$1/g; : : Is there a shorter way to transform this. - Amit ============================================================================== If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
