i know i should know this by now...
how does one get assignments out of a backreference from a regex match?
in other words, can statements like this
`wc -l $file` =~ m/\s*(\d+) .*/g;
$NumberOfPoints = $+;
or this:
/(\d+).*/;
$temperature = $+;
be condensed into single line statements? when i do something like:
$temperature = /(\d+).*/;
the /(\d+).*/ produces a "1". i imagine that simply means "yes, i was
able to match the regex".
