Hi,

I tried everything before posting this ... so here it goes. I'm using a ClearCase::CtCmd module to work with ClearCase instead of a command line tool.

Here's a snippet: my ($res, $txt, $err) = $ct->exec("$lspvob"); In this case $txt results in a pretty big string with newlines. So I want to filter every line so I used (it's in Q&A section): my $fh = new FileHandle("printf \'$txt\' |") or die; Oddly: 

print $txt; # prints the text as expected.

while (<$fh>){ # prints only part of the text.
   print $_;
}

Any idea why is this happeining? Or any other way to filter the lines or create an array that contains all of the lines?

Thanks in advance!
