in reply to Re^3: requesting small regex
in thread requesting small regex

I'm guessing that \P is 'not the named class';

Good guess

and that {Alnum} is alpha-numeric. Is theRE no \P{Numeric}?

Yes, but it is spelled \P{Digit}. perldoc perlre has details.

Note: I am replying more for the OPs benefit then yours. I am fully aware that you know about perldoc perlre, and are likely a far better perl programmer than I.

Cheers

BTW the OP DID want to split on non-alphanumerics not just non-numerics. Ok, (s)he did say non-alphanomerics but... ;-)
