( #3333=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
The code below is no longer getting an error but is failing to remove new lines from the end of files in the Unix environment
my $fh = Symbol::gensym(); open $fh, '+<$Conf[1]' or warn "$!"; binmode $fh; my $size = 4096; seek $fh, -$size, 2; # Locate the end of the file while (1) { $cur_pos = tell $fh; read $fh, $buf, $size; last if $buf =~ m/\S/s; seek $fh, -$size*2, 1; } $buf =~ m/(\s*)$/s; $cur_pos += $-[0] || 0; truncate $fh, ++$cur_pos if $cur_pos; close $fh;
Any ideas why

Thanks again

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
