By numbers in front I am referring to word1 word2 job2006 in the element: word1 word2 job2006 three four five six community job555 It seems that /(\d+)$/ matches word1 word2 job2006 job555 I was reviewing http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html but am having trouble determining the best way to match just job555
