A small question	Can't Post

Hi,

I have a string that looks something like this.

$datastring = "~~Data1~~Data2~~Data3";

How can I search to see if the first 2 characters are "~~". If it is, remove them (only the first 2 "~~") from the string.

Thanks

You could use the following regex:

Code

$datastring =~ s/^~~//;

-- Marcus

Code

s$$ab21b8d15c3d97bd6317286d$;$"=547269736;split'i',join$,,map{chr(($*+= 
($">>=1)&1?-hex:hex)+0140)}/./g;$"=chr$";s;.;\u$&;for@_[0,2];print"@_,"
