Here is a quick snippet: my $string='hello...4546perl.......2366Pogrammers..3435'; #e.g. would make three new strings while ( $string =~ /(\w+\.+\d+)/g ) { # looking for a combination of alpha, periods and numerics push(@newstrings, $1); } print join(":",@newstrings); #output: hello...4546:perl.......2366:Pogrammers..3435 Wags ;) ********************************************************** This message contains information that is confidential and proprietary to FedEx Freight or its affiliates.
