hi,

I have a number of filenames made up of letters and numbers like the following:

01-000.134off.log
01-000.14off.log
01-000.4off.log

What I would like to do is to strip away everything leaving just the non zero numbers ie:

134
14
4

I have managed to get this using grep and sed with no problem. What I really want to do next is split the string of numbers into single digits so that I am left being able to use the digits to place in another part of the program.

Is this possible, I haven't been able to find the answer and I can't think of how to do it?
thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

If you want the digits separated on a single line add
to your sed statement

If you want each digit on a separate line use
where you create ^M by pressing Ctrl-V, Enter.

Thank you, I had spent ages trying to work this out. The top one works just as I wanted it to!
