Re: How do I remove quotation marks from DOS textfile

It is a bit difficult to give you a straight answer as you did not give an example of your textfile.

If your textfile is some form of a CSV-file, you could use one of the CSV modules to deal with it (they will handle the "unquoting" for you).

You could also use tr/"//d to delete all double quotes in your textfile or use a regex m/"(\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})"/ to extract the date without the quotes.

Warning: untested code as I have no Perl on the machine I'm writing this on and I have no real data to work with.
