Re: Dealing with files with differing line endings

I always thought chomp handles that.

Could you provide us with an example which goes wrong?

Possible solutions, (if needed)

Could it be you are not using chomp at all, but setting $/ to get rid of the line-endings?

Here an example to overide chomp `use strict; use warnings; package NewChomp; use Data::Dump qw/pp dd/; use subs qw/chomp/; sub chomp { $_[0] =~ s/\n$//; # adjust here } pp my $line ="abcd\n"; chomp $line; pp $line;` [download] Just export it from a new module into your scripts, and adjust the regex to your needs.

Chomp cleans off the end of a string based on the current value of $/. I need something to cause reading the next line of the file to terminate in the correct place. (And then I probably do also need to do something like chomp, but that's easy.)	[reply]
