Files are natural habitats for commata and they will not suffer any harm!	[reply] [d/l]

what if there is a comma in the file itself what if we did not know what to do with the comma, is it supposed to be part of the number? Or even something dividing numbers? Cheers, Sören (hooked on the Perl Programming language)	[reply]

If you literally translate two numbers before and after the "-" into a regex, taking into account that a number is a string of digits (\d) and use `(...)` capture groups, then you have it already.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
