Re: Chomping most of a _long

Im not sure if this is any better performance-wise than the regex suggestions, but you could use split:

(undef, $goodpart) = split(/_{70}/, $msg);

This works better if $msg is a single email at a time, though you could split a whole inbox as well...

You'd better have a limit on that split as well, so that you don't chop up any e-mails that have 70 underscores in it: `(undef, $goodpart) = split /_{70}/, $msg, 2;` [download] Note that since this supposedly is a huge string you create a huge copy while doing this, even if you assign it back to `$msg`, afaik. `ihb` See perltoc if you don't know which perldoc to read!
