Re^3: newline substitution is removing text too

I was actually using macosx/Terminal myself when trying your sample code, and it looked okay to me. I suppose sometimes if you are using the "more" or "less" pager and resizing the window, things can end up getting a little messy, but there's nothing in the example per se that would cause Terminal to drop or hide characters.

"more" or "less" pager? Sorry, I don't know what that is...	[reply]

If your shell environment and PATH are similar to mine, "more" is actually just a synonym (alias) for "less", and you can try "man less" at the command line to read all about it. It's a very handy tool with a long, venerated history in unix-land. (If you use perldoc at the command line -- and I recommend that -- it should be piping its output to "less" by default.)	[reply]
