Hello all,
This one seems to be eluding me, and I'm hoping someone here can wrap their
mind around it.
I'm using Perl. I'm looking for a regexp for use with split() that will
match the boundary between a digit and a letter (or a letter and a digit).
What I'm trying to do is split an arbitrarily complex version number, in the
general form of 1.2.3a-4b.5.c6, into its component parts. Using that same
example, I'm after the list (1, 2, 3, a, 4, b, 5, c, 6).
The first part is easy, just use "split /[-.]/". That will get me (1, 2,
3a, 4b, 5, c6).
The second part, splitting 3a into (3, a), and so on, is what is stumping
me. I was hoping to use something based on /(?![a-z])(?=[a-z])/, i.e., a
zero-width match on a non-letter followed by a letter, but that doesn't seem
to work.
Any Perl guru's here know of a quick and easy answer?
