Re: Unix and Windows CRLF vs LF

Using foreach on the FH is not efficient. Use while instead. And perl will automatically convert the line ending AFAIK. Try to use chomp:

while ( my $line = <FILE> ) {
   chomp $line; # remove new line
   #Random code
}

to add more value to Burak's post chomp $line; # remove new line from chomp This safer version of "chop" removes any trailing string that corresponds to the current value of $/ (also known as $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR in the English module).

Ooops!! I meant to write While, rather than for each. I don't think for each in my code even works properly as it is written. I will update and make note. On a side note, why is For Each less efficient than While? Aren't they the same in this context? ---- Thanks for your patience.	[reply]

foreach will make a list out of the file's contents and then will iterate, so it will read the whole file into memory. while has a small footprint since it goes through the contents line by line plus it terminates when the the condition will evaluate to false;with foreach you go through everything in the list	[reply]
