Hello, Given that $a = `1234 abcde abdcd acbd`; Would anyone know of of a way for me to just "extract" the numerical portion of the string. The numerical part is not fixed in length it could be composed4, 3, 2 or 1 digit I was thinking that the string could be treated as an array of characters and that I could just parse the string by accessing its index, say $a[0]?? Your assistance would be greatly appreciate.
