in thread Perl Regex to Fix line feed issue

Thanks to all for their replies. Nothing seems to work. I am trying a different approach. if line ends in ^M and the next starts with ^M join lines. Then remove the ^M^M from middle of the line. Any thoughts?

    untested:

    $/ = "\r\n"; while (<>) { if (s/^\r//) { $l .= $_; $l =~ s/\r\r//g; next; } else { print $l; $l = $_; } } print $l;

    although I don't know what the heck you are wanting to to with what files to what end.

    Could you show what you've tried? and perhaps some sample input?

    --shmem

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                                  /\_¯/(q    /
