Re: How to remove last character of a line

in reply to How to remove last character of a line

Note that both chomp() and chop() modify their argument in-place and return the removed character. So if $line contains '.abc(abc),, your example code will print either '' (i.e. the empty string) as written, or ',' if you use chop(). If you want your output to be '.abc(abc)', you will need to print $temp_out $line;.
