Yeah. It's pretty easy in perl too. I have on occasion, read the first few hundred characters of a file and then searched for \n and \r and \r\n. From that I make a guess and reopen the file for line by line reading after setting $/ to what I found. If you slurp in the whole string you can play with $option1 = split /\n/, $thedata; $option2 = split /\r/, $thedata; Which option has the most elements? split /(\r|\n)/, $thedata; # is an idea I just had.
