When parsing a text file - what is the best way to skip a "blank" line - when I find the length I get a length of 1 (perhaps the newline). I know that I could chomp($_) and then if(length($_) != 0) {do something} else {next} but I feel that there should be a way to have an if($_ = $blank) statement.
Any thoughts . . . tim ____________________________________________________ Timothy B Booher, Lt USAF, AFRL/MNAC 101 West Eglin Blvd, Suite 339 Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810 Phone: 850-882-8302 Ext. 3360 (DSN 872-) FAX: 850-882-2201
