note moritz <p>If you really want the last integer in a string, you can find that as <c>/.*(?<!\d)(\d+)/</c>, and get the numbers as <code> my @filtered = map { /.*(?<!\d)(\d+)/; $1 // '' } @lines; </code> <p>However you seem to want to turn 3.0 into 3 (and not 0), and I don't know the rules behind that. Do you want to permit decimals, and cut off zero-decimals behind the dot? Or something else?</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
