Hi..

I want to read every 280 data but I just found that my code captured the character including the new line. Then once I remove the new line then the character will be less from 280 to 27?. That is my problem..

So, how could i removed the new line and captured 280 data ? anyone have any ideas ?

:- 

local $/ = \280 if ($decode !~ /csv/);

$printout = "";
if ($outfile) {
    open (OUTDATA, ">$outfile");
    $printout = 1;
}

if ($fname && (defined($decode) || defined($encode))) {
    open (DATA, "$fname");
    while (my $data = <DATA>) {
        chomp($data);
        if (defined($decode) && $decode =~ /csv/) {
            csvout($data);
        } elsif (defined($decode) && $decode !~ /csv/) {
            $data =~ s/\n//g;
            print "$data"; # ..Problem is here..
            #decode($data);
        } elsif (defined($encode) && $encode =~ /csv/) {
            csv_encode($data);
        } elsif (defined($encode) && $encode !~ /csv/) {
            std_encode($data);
        }
    }
    close (DATA);
} else {
    usage();
