Re: How to remove a carriage return (\r\n)

Chomp removes the line ending native to your platform, because $/ defaults to it. On unix this is simplly a line feed which we often write \n.

If chomp won't do it try:

$key =~ s/\r\n//;

Chomp removes the line ending native to your platform. Actually, chomp knows nothing about your platform. It removes `$/` at the end of the string, as borisz has correctly indicated above. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l]

I prefer `$key =~ s/\r?\n/` so it will handle either style of linefeed, whether your code is running on either Windows or Unix. (On Windows, if binmode is off, you get what look like Unix linefeeds out of Windows linefeeds.)	[reply] [d/l]
