How can I detect this, I have been running some code for a few days to develop some files and ran into the situation where I am getting the following data for input:
14.95313 14.45312 0 14.95313 1.570813E-015 0 14.95313 -14.45313 0 -14.95313 -28.90625 0 -14.95313 -14.45313 0 -14.95313 1.570813E-015 0 -14.95313 14.45312 0 14.95313 -28.90625 0 0 -28.90625 0 -14.95313 28.90625 0 0 28.90625 0 14.95313 28.90625 0 And my code is skipping some lines as it checks for any erroneous data: next if grep (/[^0-9.-]/, @data); But that thinks the scientific notation is bad. I searched the net and didn't find anything. How can I match this specific pattern and convert it? Thanks! jlc
