[HRPM] quick question

[Troy E. Webster]

Hey all

I need some regular expression help again.

I'm trying to match something that should (I thought) be pretty easy. 
It's actually versioning info that I want to get rid of. For example, the
line could look like:

1.1.1.2
<or>
1.1.1
<or>
.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
<etc>

so I tried $_ =~ /(\.*)((\d)(\.)(\d))+/

... and a huge number of other permutations with the parenthesis.

And I don't want to match money i decimal form ($1.25).

Any help would be appreciated.

Troy
