So, I'm pretty new to the perl language and still trying to hammer out some details. If I have a scalar variable and wish to take a substring of that variable, how do I do that. For example:
$var = "15 PLUS 10";
(how to i extract the string "PLUS" from $var??)
I know there is a substr() function, but that doesn't help me here because it's parameters take in a starting index and a length. In my case the 'P' character will not always be in the same index of the $var string. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
