Hi,

I have written a perl one liner that gets rid of
digits at the end of a word, but it also gets rid of
digits if they are at the beginning of a line.
The one liner is

perl -ne 's/([a-z]\d+)/$1/g;' <filename>

It doesn't work, but if I use it in a script it works.

I want to know where am I going wrong. Also I want to
know how to not get rid of digits at the beginning of
a line but the ones that follow some chars

If input is like the one below, 

This23
is
a
45
good
thing

The result should be

This
is
a
45
good
thing

Thamks,
Anupama.
