Regular Expression with negative number

[wsexton]

I'm trying to remove a comma from a negative number:

First I use substr to get the number:

$number = substr($line, 1, 10);

Now $number has -1,125.50

I do this: $number =~ s/\,//g;

This works for a positive number, but not negative.

Any ideas?

it worked for me, can you post what's in $line

I figured it out. Just a dumb mistake. Thanks anyways.
