Sorry for the n00b cgi question. I have a hash, with key bodybgcolor pointing to string "#FF9966". I need to be able to print "FEDCBA" without the number sign. Any way that I do that is fine. Can someone show me how to do that?

Sorry!!

Getting to "FF9966" is easy, just drop the first character. But how do you get to "FEDCBA"?

LOL, sorry, I copied and pasted and then edited. I need "FF9966", and in all the tutorials I have been looking at, I can't find the command to delete the first character in a string.

got the answer. $str =~ s/\#//g;

to be more precise, and have some faster perl (which is always good practice)...

$str=~ s/^\#//;

this strips specifically the first character, omitting the 'g' modifier since this is only needed if more than one occurence of # was in the string, which it is not..or at least should not
