Re: Removing spaces, again.

It looks like you are just matching, rather than substituting. Try

($BKSIC_MODEL[$i] = substr ($line, 3, 7)) =~ s/^\s*(\S*)\s*$/$1/;

UPDATE
My mistake. Forgot my parens around $BKSIC_MODEL[$i] = substr ($line, 3, 7). Fixed now.

Nope. The return value of an s/// is not the changed string, but the true/false success value. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

I think s/// return the number of modifications issued. Using s/// whitout g modificator, result to return true/false but... saying 0/1 is more sharp ( scuse me for this effrontery master ;) _______________________ Please, don't hurt me !	[reply]
