Only process 1/2 digit numbers?
Hi. I'm trying to process a string like below;

Thur 8 2003,

I'm using this line of regex;

$calander =~ s/((\d\d)?|(\d)?)/<a href="$1">$1<\/a>/g;

Is there a way to modify this so it ONLY does the 1/2 digit numbers? i.e so it looks like; (i.e without the year being slip in 2, and changed to a link)

Not sure what all that stuff with the \d's is....use:

\d{1,2}

or

\d\d?

...and verify it's the right digits by looking for spaces.

\s+(\d\d?)\s+
