| Mar 8, 2012 at 6:16 | comment | added | Peter.O | Those perlregex asserts look really useful! I've been reading about them after seeing you use both backward and forward assertions, even in grep (I'd switched off to the the fact you can choose a regex engine). I'll be devoting a bit more time to perl's regex from here on. Thanks... PS.. I just read inman grep... "This is highly experimental and  grep  -P  may warn of unimplemented features." ... I hope that doesn't mean unstable(?) ... | |
| Mar 8, 2012 at 0:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Peter.O I understood “except [number]” to mean that there aren't other parts of the line of that form. But I edited my answer to show how to print only the digits, just in case. | |
