use strict;
use warnings;
set LINES=40;
set COLUMNS=80;

open(my $in , "<" , "UR59_rev162_1KLoops_LastRun_SITEC1.txt") or die "
+can't open input.txt $!";
open(my $out , ">" , "UR59_rev162_1KLoops_LastRun_SITEC1_deleted.txt")
+ or die "can't open out.txt $!";

while(<$in>)
{
    if( $_  != /^\s/)
    {
        print $out $_;
    }
    
}
