Hi All,
I have the following code to parse a csv file. A

Sample line on the file is 
 SEC,    9/12/2004,    14:25:18,    Security,    576,    Success,    P
+rivilege Use,     NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM,    GHOST01,    Special privile
+ges assigned to new logon:^`     User Name:    GHOST01$^`     Domain:
+        US^`     Logon ID:        (0x0 0x15307D9E)^`     Privileges: 
+   SeBackupPrivilege^`            SeRestorePrivilege^`            SeD
+ebugPrivilege^`            SeChangeNotifyPrivilege

foreach $line (<INPUT>) { 
  chomp($line);
  ($logtype, $date, $time, $type, $eventid, $status, $systemevent, $nt
+auth, $hostname, $description) = split(",", $line); 

  # So, $description becomes  
  #Special privileges assigned to new logon:^`     User Name:    GHOST
+01$^`     Domain:        US^`     Logon ID:        (0x0 0x15307D9E)^`
+     Privileges:    SeBackupPrivilege^`            SeRestorePrivilege
+^`            SeDebugPrivilege^`            SeChangeNotifyPrivilege

  # I just need to get the User Name which is GHOST01$ out.

   if ($eventid==576) { 
      ($desc, $username) = split("`", $description); 
      ($logon, $uname) = split(":", $username);
      print $uname;
   }
 }

But I get GHOST01$^. How do I remove the ^ char at
the end? Any suggestions?
