RE: open ended floats

[bastard]

The easy way to deal with open ended floating pointed nums is to simply remove the floating part until the commas are added, then reattach.

$integer =~ s/(.*)(\.\d\d+)$/$1/;
$float = $2;

# do stuff

$integer .= $float;

It would be more efficient to use split.

my( $int, $float ) = split /\./, $num;

lol. isn't that what i'm currently doing ?! :))
plz check up again my previous post and look at the final code - it does exactly that :)
your snippet doesn't work for 'real' strings like: 'for every 1234.567 blah stuff there is some 34% rate of foobar success at every 9876543.876543 seconds'
