There is a simpler solution: Let the computer fix it. To express the pattern in Perl: display "$1 $2" if($ref =~ /^(\d+)\s*(.*)$/); This means that if there is a series of digits followed by an optional space followed by any characters; display the digits, a space followed by the remaining characters. Of course, there would be variations of this basic pattern. However, the point is that whether there are spaces or not is easy to fix. The output is even up to the renderer. Just let the computer fix it. - Val - _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
