Subject: Ignore rogue EOFHi, I havge a script qwhich analyses our Mailsweeper logs for traffic statistic purposes. Unfortunately some spam mailers have started putting EOF chars (hex 1A) into the subject line, causing my script to only partially load the log file when reading the file in. Is there a way to overcome this ?Here is the read statement that is failing, I can provide a snippet of the logfile as an attachment to anyone who is interested..my $logfile= 'v:\\logfile\\20040715.log';if (-e $logfile){open (LOG,"$logfile") || die $!;}
@array = (<LOG>);
close(LOG);
print "There are "[EMAIL PROTECTED]." lines in the file $logfile\n";
print "Last line ".(@array-1)." is [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
exit;
