From: Alexandru Popescu Date: 2006-10-27T22:23:42+09:00 Subject: a regex Hi! I have a string in the following form: 2006%2F10%2Fasdfasdf (or more generic: any_characters+%2Fany_characters+%2Frest_of_it). I am wondering if I can retrieve the groups 2006, 10, asdfasdf thru a regex (I confess I couldn't figure it out so far :-( ). many thanks, ./alex -- .w( the_mindstorm )p.
