Re^2: Dealing with files with differing line endings

in thread Dealing with files with differing line endings

Good point! I was jumping back to a more general question than I need to solve. As you say, I can just force LF for line boundaries. Parsing the contents can handle various line separators with \R, I think it already does (or I could do my own chomp with suitable regexp to kill all kinds of line terminators).

As you say, I can just force LF for line boundaries No need to force anything. `$/` is already a LF on all systems except ancient MacOS. Just replace `chomp;` with `s/\s+\z//;`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
