Re^2: String manipulation

I added your code so that it would print before the real data and this is the result:
73
08/07 04:48P 00:00:04 102 9 4249785
73
08/07 04:48P 00:00:02 T001 001
As you can see I get a "73" printing before the line of data... strange!
Actually, I stopped and restarted the script and guess what... the output has changed from "73" to "32"!
I think I will try the "not so safe" method and see what happens. By the way, why do you say this is "not so safe"? because of possibly deleting actual data or is there another reason?

I wrote it's "not so safe" because it deletes data if the real data does not begin with a blank. If the data is always formed as you say it is, the method is safe. Perl 6 in German	[reply]
