Hi

I have a script which the following output:

" abc 123456 xyz

"

Now as you can see apart from the number "123456" there are a lot of blank spaces and some aplha characters as well. Now i want the output to be only "123456" without the white spaces, blank lines and characters.

How do i acheive this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Sudhindra

maybe you can do something like:

($text) =3D ($text =3D~ /([0-9]+)/);

Before printing the text.
