Yes, but I really don't know why, chomp does nothing on my system.... =( but I've done a test like this : $len = length($orgText); # $orgText has a \n inside. print length ($orgText) ; # say, I got 5 chomp ($orgText); print length ($orgText) ; # still 5, why ??! chop ($orgText); print length ($orgText) ; # I got 4 I did have an experience that need to upload a script to a unix box... scripts are totally fail because of the CR, CRLF, at last, I done in this way $in =~ s/(\n|\r\n)$//; # something like that......... Stupid ? Yes, I am still a beginner =) Rgds, Connie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
