Hello my fellow monks! I have a program that reads a report file(built of columns separeted by tabs)
It reads each line, and splits it by tabs, then loops through each "split string" and compares it to a "global string" .
Every thing works well except when dealing with the last "split string" since it contains the 'cr' or 'lf' characters, and this causes the 'cmp' or 'eq' to "think" that the string are different even though they are the same!.
Now I've tried chomp, and '=~ s/ \s//g' , but nothing seems to work(I might be using this in a wrong way).
Can anyone help shed some light?
Thanks, Dave (just dave...)
