I'm sorry.I'm not clear as to what you mean. If you're trying to read the 
lines below, you can change your default record delimiter from a single 
newline character to anything else, including two \n characters

$/ = "\n\n"     ## although I believe $/ = "" would work as well.

maybe chomp would work with the change to $/. Give it a try. If you post 
more information and describe what you're desired output is, maybe I can be 
of more help.
