in thread what is the best way to seperate the digits and strings from variable ?

frodo72, Don't fool yourself, as you signature says.

dbwiz has given you good advice. Assigning $1 without testing is almost a capital sin in Regex parlance. Your initial code would pass a test against the only example provided by the OP, but it would fail in many other cases.

Cheers
