or even. . .

 

$string = "sct-1.62-1";
print "$1\n" if ($string =~ /^.+-(.+)-.+$/);

 

(no need to use the backslash escape for the dashes; they're not part of a character class. . .

Your format does not match XXX-XXX-XXX so I'll guess you mean three fields delimited by a dash.

 

#### here's one way to do it

 

$string = "sct-1.62-1";

print "$1\n" if ($string =~ /^.+\-(.+)\-.+$/)

 Now I have a string like

My $string = "sct-1.62-1";

I have 2 regular _expression_ question here,

A. I want to check whether the format is "XXX-XXX-XXX", how can I do it?
B. I want to get 1.62 from the string, how can I do it?

Thanks a lot in advance!
