how to delete from ... to...

[PerlElvir]

Hi all,


How can I delete some text from var?

example

$var="individuelle 77,00 € 505.09 FF";

so now I want to delete and get

$var="individuelle 77,00";

($bit_i_want, $filler)=split /€/, $var;

The & sign may need to be escaped

ok thx, but what if I have like this:

$var="ALID-1 77,00 € 505.09 FF - ALID-2 77,00 € 505.09 FF - ALID-3 77,00 € 505.09 FF";

and I want to get only:

$var="ALID-1 77,00 € - ALID-2 77,00 € - ALID-3 77,00 €";

so delete all from € till -

but I dont want this to be array and you never know how many ALID-1 ....ALID-n you will have

Hi, here is it:

$var =~ s/€ \d+(\.\d+)? FF/€/g;
