One thing I don't get is that while I seem to still have access to individual lines the $ char in a regex doesn't do what I expect it to. `open ( $fh, "< $path_to_file"); binmode($fh); my @log = <$fh>; my $line; while ($line = pop @log) { last if ($line =~ /^.\ -\ line I'm looking for$/); }` [download] had to become: `last if ($line =~ /^.\ -\ line I'm looking for/);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Some relevant details... If DOS/Windows encounters chr(26) in a text file, it considers that the end of the text file. binmode does not treat chr(26) specially. However, \r\n are not converted to \n in binmode. You may want to set $/ to "\015\012".	[reply]
