This is kind of related to an ealier post. I've successfully deleted the line break, but then i end up with some extra spaces.EX:

<meta name="revision" content=    "Mon, 05 Jul 2006 23:59:59 GMT"

So, I tired this... but it ignores my switch (3rd nested if)

#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe 

use strict;
use File::Find;
use File::Slurp;
use Time::Local;

print "\nRunning ... \n\n";

my $root = "C:/";  # use forward slash, you can use mapped drives.
print "changing to $root\n";
chdir $root;       
my $no_switches=0;
my $no_files=0;
my @log = ();
my $dir;

# find (\&Wanted, "department", "managers", "mybranch", "mycity", "myi
+nfo", "resources"); 
find (\&Wanted, "working");  #directories - comman delimited
sub Wanted {
  print "*Processing: $root$File::Find::name \n";
   if ($_ =~ /\.htm(l)?$/i) {
      open(xFILE, $_) or die "ERROR: couldn't open file";
      my @file = <xFILE>;
      
      foreach my $line (@file) {
            close (xFILE);
        if ($line =~ m/<meta[\s\r\n\t]+name="revision"[\s\r\n\t]+conte
+nt=[\n]+/i) {
           open(FILE, ">$_") or die "ERROR: Can't open $_";
           chomp($line);
           if ($line =~ m/(<meta[\s\r\n\t]+name="revision"[\s\r\n\t]+c
+ontent=)([\s]+)(.*>)/i) { 
              my $newline = $1.$3;
                  $line =~ s/$line/$newline/;
              print "Switched: $newline\n";
               }    
           print FILE "@file";  # @file array is entire file.        
           close (FILE);
           print "file overwritten\n";
               push @log,"$root$File::Find::name \n\n"; 
               $no_switches++;
          } # end if
      }     # end for loop
    $no_files++;
    } #end if matches filetype
    else { print "file type not processed\n\n"; }  #add $_ if you want
+ to see URL of file not processed.
} # end sub

Forget it... it's only 1 line after the chomp. I need to do 2 passes
