In my case, I get them as strings during the workflow, so that perl doesn't manage automatically... For example: perl -le '$foo=1.00; print $foo' 1 [gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ perl -le '$foo="1.00"; print $foo' 1.00 BTW, it was the correct regex that I missed. Simple to read after you pointed out, but (at least for me) difficult to catch initially... ;-) Actually I had to make the job in awk where I then easily got the same effect with: sub(/\.?0+$/, "", foo) Thanks again and hope to repay in some way ... -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
