unless you use this syntax :
$modtager =~s/45//g;
only the first occurence of the searched string will be replace...
so what you wrote should work fine...

Hi Everybody,
I have a script where I need to replace 45 in the beginning, with
nothing in a variable....
It looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$modtager = "45247";
$modtager =~s/45//;
Then $modtager is 247, but if forinstance the number is 4545247, it
should return 45247, how do I do this ?
Best regards,
Mads
