hi there, i have a string and i am trying to test if there is a number at the start
my $string = "12 asdkjh"; if( $string =~ m/^d+/) { print " starts with a number"; } when i run that i get nothing, but when i run this
if ( $string =~ m/^[0-9]/) { print " got a number at the start "; } i get -> got a number at the start... am i doing something wrong here .... because ^ = start of string d = digit d+ = 1 or many times ??? confused
