Actually, I think you just need to leave off
the /g switch if your script is doing that.
This should work:
$phonenumber = 4062324064;
$phonenumber =~ s/406/302/; #no /g
switch
print $phonenumber;
An even better idea, though, is to specify
that the pattern has to come at the beginning of the word, using the ^, like
this:
$phonenumber =~ s/^406/302/;
What regular expression might I use to replace area codes in
a telephone #(or just the first 3 digits of a number. I can't use just a
simple search and replace. For example: 4062324064 The new # would change to
ex:302233024.
I of course only want the area code or the first 3 digits to
be searched.
I am brand new to this, yet I a already have a need to
replace area codes on a list. Your help is apreciated.
