RE: Need a regex

[merlyn]

You need to be clear in your question. I can't tell for example that this won't do it:

s/608,132//;

Most of the trouble in programming isn't the answers -- it's phrasing the questions properly. Once the question is phrased properly, the answer usually pops out.

Like, did you mean "I need to remove the third whitespace-delimited word from the string"? Or "I need to remove any word that begins with 608"? Or what?
