[Chicago-talk] regural expression question?

[Richard Reina]

I have a little script that finds the line which contains a six digit number begining with 1 or greater.  I know that $_ represents the line,  however, I am having trouble figuring out how to save that number once it's found (without everything else in the line).
 
 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
 @ARGV = "/home/richard/test/out.txt";
 while (<>) {
     if ( /\b[123456789][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\b/ ) {
         print "Found\n" . $_ . "\n";
     }
 }
 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Richard
