Your output is NOT the output here (Win7 Pro 32bit, AS Perl 5.18.4 for x86)... and thus I don't think it's a Windoze line-ending problem; rather, I suspect your copy of 1nickt's suggestion (at Re^3: Substitution in range operator) is somehow inaccurate. Spirit of the Monastery	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not sure if it is an issue with the Perl version (I am using 5.16.3 and 5.22), but rather with line endings on Windows. I don't use Windows myself, but there are considerations with line-endings on that platform; do a search and you'll find at least a couple of discussions about the topic in the last couple of months. What happens if you change the key line to: `$txt =~ s/\r\n\\|/ /g;` [download] ? The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l]

I get the correct output but in my script it doesn't change the pipe or remove the new line. Funny because i copied the char into a hex editor and got "a" (new line not carriage return) I'll play around with it some more tomorrow but is there a way to use hex values in the regex? - just googled http://www.regular-expressions.info/nonprint.html so I'll have another look at a hex editor tomorrow and give it a go trying with hex symbols. `foo \| bar baz qux fred wilma barney` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
