Re: •Re: Re: Removing blank lines from array

Shouldn't that be:

my @info;
chomp(@info = grep /\S/, <READ>);
[download]

so that @info is accessible later?

No. It works as-is. There's no new scope there. I use that idiom all the time: `chomp(my $input = <FOO>);` [download] -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply] [d/l]

`@info` will still be visible after the `chomp()`. There is no enclosing scope there to cause the lexical nature to release the array. --rjray	[reply]
