Hi I'm writing a script to import logs into a Mysql .. My Perl is rusty and I'm battling with a convention on the one column. I need to remove the text in inverted commas "Prashil" 106 so that just the number 106 remains.. I have been trying the following regex s/(\"([^"]+)\"\s)//g but it doesn't seem to work. I got it from a website .. It looked correct .. mmm .. with regard to it's structure i don't quite get ([^"]+) as I have tried replacing it with other combinations and had less luck. I have also tried s/\"([:word:])\"\s)//g ... Thanks for advise in advance Gregory MachinThread Next
