Re^4: Read the last line in a text file

This is the other way round I'm trying to solve my problem for my prior question. As you have said chomp, can you please let me know where exactly I have to use the chomp in the above code? (as a novice in perl)

Well, it's not so hard. At some point you read the line, where it still has the newline. Later you use that line in a comparison, at which point it shouldn't have the newline any more. So where do you need to remove it? Also don't be afraid to just try stuff. It really helps.	[reply]
