Re^2: extracting lines from a string - while ignoring the \n character

Your approach works. IO::String comes to your rescue ;-)

$ cat test.txt
bla.
fasel
.
foo

.
bar.

$ perl -e '
use IO::String;
$str=`cat test.txt`;
$fh = IO::String->new($str);
$/="."; 
print "$_|" for <$fh>'

bla.|
fasel
.|
foo

.|
bar.|

That's fine if you're sure that '.' == EOL is what the OP meant, but that's not clear to me. Maybe I misunderstood, but it seemed to me like the OP wants to distinguish between what s/he perceives to be two kinds of newline. -David	[reply]
