Hi All, This seems like a trivial question, but I really adore the "for" loops. Is there a way to do the backwards? In other words, start at the end of the array and loop to the beginning? Does the "next" and "last" work in this? Inquiring minds want to know! Many thanks, -T

Re: number of letters question

I'd suggest combing for the regex instead of combing and then grepping with the regex: say + "abcrd-12.3.4".comb(//); though from the problem question it sounds a lot more like what todd wants is     my $input = "abcrd-12.3.4";     my $letters = $input.comb(/<[a..z]>/);     my $numbers = $input.

Just a quick reminder that matches the underscore, because also does. If you want to exclude underscores, you can match against /<+alnum-[_]>/. That adds the alnum character class, but subtracts underscores from it. Decimal points are definitely not alphanumeric, though. On Tue, May 15, 2018
