Subject: regexp matching- real simple!
This has to be really easy- but I cant get it to work:
I want my script to carry out a loop only if the number stored in
$diff is positive,
so i say
if ($diff =~m/^[-\d+]/) {blah blah}
but it won't work. why?
TIA

Is the number stored as a string? Probably not. Why not use:
if ($diff > 0) {blah blah}
