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); But my problem is: it's leaving 2005 in the beginning of the string to look like 200505162005 when all I need is 05162005 Any ideas? thx Derek B.
