unless you use this syntax :
$modtager =~s/45//g;
only the first occurence of the searched string will be replace...
so what you wrote should work fine...

Hi Everybody,

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 ?


Best regards,


Mads
