Hello all, I am stepping through an input file using the filehandle and I need to do an if statement which recognizes whether the filehandle is a blank line. In other words, what I want to do is if ($_ eq 'blank line') { ... } And I was wondering what I use to represent blank line. Thanks for the help...being so new to Perl this list has helped me a lot and I am extremely grateful. Thanks again, Mike. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
