perl get partial string of a string
Hi All,

I have:
Code:
$d = "12.02222222222";
$d =~ s/(.*).(.*)/$1/e;

The output should be just 12.
Please guide me my expression wrong.

Thanks

Regex can do a lot, but not that (and never were intended to [unless someone wants to prove me wrong])
Code:
perl -e '$val=14480; $hms=sprintf("%02d%02d%02d",int($val/3600),int($val%3600/60),int($val%60)); print $hms,"\n";'
040120
