how can i substitute, or remove anything that's not an alphanumerical character in a string?
i.e: $string = "AbCdEF1246Hfn \n"; $string =~ s/[^a-z][^A-Z][^0-9]//g; though to me, that would say: (replace anything that's not a lower case letter as the first char) then (replace anything that's not an upper case letter as the second char) then (rpelace anything that's not a number as the third char). or is this right? thanks, dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
