Wouldn't the s/(\d{5,})//g; match 5 or more instances of consecutive numbers? So if, in a webpage, there is 123456778990, it would match all of the numbers and return them in $1 A better solution to this would be to omit the comma and result with this
s/(\d{5})//g; But, since your not actually making a substitution in that code, you should just use a match. m/(\d{5})(-\d{4})?/g; That way you don't have to falsely delete anything and its much more tidier :). Also, now you can catch the full zip code for better accuracy (eg. 12345-1234). Hope I helped. UPDATE:Thanks albannach for pointing out my typing mistake and for suggesting the (-\d{4})? part :) Almost a Perl hacker.
