I have a script where I need to replace 45 in the beginning, with nothing
in a variable....
It looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$modtager = "45247";
$modtager =~s/45//;
Then $modtager is 247, but if forinstance the number is 4545247, it should
return 45247, how do I do this ?
What is wrong with what you have? If it is not doing what you want you
will have to explain in more detail what you want and what you are
getting.
if you wanted to make the replacement only right at the beginning of the
string, you would use:
$modtager =~s/^45//;
