All - I'm writing a script to gather date from a large number of text log files and I've encountered an interesting problem. I've noticed that control characters that appear in some of the log files are being interpreted as indicating EOF - preventing the script from processing the rest of the file.
Specifically, Purl interprets the following line that appears a third of the way as the last in the file: EAISiebAdpt EAISiebAdptTrcIntObj 4 2002-08-13 10:58:01 Integration component: ? It does not appear to be anything my script - a simple Perl -ne "print " EAIObjMgr_102350.log ends on the same line. But more EAIObjMgr_102350.log displays the rest of the file. Any idea what character might be causing this and how I might remove it? Thanks, mlb _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
