I have 2 questions:
1.When I read the number using (\S+) its getting stored as 2.08E13.
Code I used: -
if ($line=~/4_begindt_(\S+)/) {
-
print "$1\n" }
-
# $1=2.08E13; instead $1 should contain 20080928014155
-
How to read and store a 15digit number in perl?
2.Once I store the number how do I convert to date and time?
like 09/28/2008 01:41:55
Please let me know

First off Use Code Tags,
Second don't store var's as $0 - $9 this is perl Special Var's
3rd, Try:
now try this your self we are not a scripting/programing service when you do, paste code with errors or problems.

I think you misunderstood. He is not using $1 as a private variable but as the capturing group from the regexp, he just added the "=" symbol to show what its value is and what he wants it to be.

that would be correct because of the reg exp the $1 prints first of the last reg exp matched.
what OS are you using as well?
Note: yeah just seen that. because of the non code tags i missed the #
I am using Windows.
Thats true I am capturing the whole number into $1 using regex.
Should code tags be used for capturing large numbers using regex, ?

To convert the string of numbers into the format you want, you will probably have to look at one of the data modules on CPAN, such as this one. But there are a bunch of others depending on what you want to do.

The "code" tags is for posting code on this forum, nothing to do with perl. I am also using my old W98 server with activeperl 5.8.8 installed and I do not get the output you are getting. Is there more to your code?

Hello,
In my MySQL database, one of the fields eople have to fill in is "DOB"
(Date of Birth).
I have now managed to begin inserting data into my DB via a form, the
data type for the DOB field is "DATE", but every time I add data and
then check my db, I see the DOB displayed as "0000-00-00".
Has anyone got any idea how I could put this right?

I can do this in perl easily with the Date::Manip module but don't know
how to do it in c#. Is there a way to do this or do I need to right
something to parse each date?

I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.
