Re^2: reading values from file

Why are you chomping a value that cannot contain any newlines? Not to mention that sticking that all on a single line is unnecessarily dense.

Makeshifts last the longest.

That bit is correct. But your post goes to show what I meant when I said it’s needlessly dense – it’s too easy to misread the intent. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

In case my assumption was incorrect and there could be a newline at the end of version, only the regex needs to be modified. Should have thrown that in a comment as well, thanks for pointing it out to the poster.	[reply]
