In my situation I have a string like so:
my $string = '20050516';
and I want to rearrange it to look like: 05162005, so I tried:
my $newstring =
substr($string,0,8).substr($string,0,4).substr($string,8,0);
That should be:
substr($string, 4, 2) . substr($string, 6, 2) . substr($string, 0, 4)
The first argument is the OFFSET, and the second argument is the LENGTH.
