(tye)Re: problem with removing space

Note that you can also use tr to squash multiple whitespace characters into single _s:

$_= " This  is \t a test\cM\n";
tr/ \t\f\r\n/_/s;
print;
__END__
prints "_This_is_a_test_"

Ahhh... I never got into using tr... just one of those things... I should. So how do you make tr trade one for one? `tr/ \t\f\r\n/_____/` - Ant	[reply] [d/l]

No, you just leave the "s" off the end. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]
