Thanks for the direction! I really need to learn more about regex. I will
certainly read those!

Kristofer,
you might want to check out the man page's perlrequick and perlre- I found
them pretty useful when I was first learning regex (the man page perlretut
isn't bad either).
Either way, try this;
my $string = '(608)-555-1234';
$string =~ /\((\d+)\)-(\d+)-(\d+)/;
this results in $1=608, $2

% Here is my string.

% my $String = "Characters(803), Value(3)";
%
% What I am try
uot;(803)". Is there a way
to get 803 without the enclosing parens?
Thank you

Hi all,
Please forgive the simple nature of this question. I have never really
used regular expression extensivly.

Here goes. I am trying to extract a number from in between two
parenthesis. I want the first value I find (from right to left) in a string.
These numbers could be phone number
