Okay so when i read each line of a file created on windows it should end with \r\n. So to split out each line i could say split(/\r\n/,$file);

The problem i have is that i am trying to search and file for certain values like.
 open(FF, "$fixmessageloc");
 while(<FF>){
   chomp($_);
   if($_ =~ /35=D/){
    printf("Found $_\n");
   }
 }

Now this will return .
