How do people chomp out a ^M symbol in NIX?* chomp (click link; read documentation; do so now) uses `$/`. If you don't want to change `$/`, you can't use chomp to do what you want. In that case a simple regex or transliteration suffices: `s/\cM//g` or `tr/\cM//d`. The latter is faster.

I prefer to do it like this: `s/[\r\n]+$//;` [download] This will take care of any line-end, might it be DOS (CR LF), *NIX (LF) or Mac (CR).	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry to have to say it mate, but you're an Xperienced monk who's been here 8 months - ever noticed the search box at the top of the page? Just typing '^M' in there brings up a whole host of entries...or you could use the cho^Mper, but it would have to be searching in 1% increments :) Ben.	[reply]

This may not be a perl soluition but check if your system has `dos2unix` or `d2u` these utilities convert CRLF to LF. Read the `man dos2unix` or `man d2u` pages to see how to use them. -- flounder	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For a Perl solution, see the nlcvt utility on the Perl Power Tools page. YuckFoo	[reply]
