Re^3: problem path stored in hash

I tried your code and the returned hash was:

workingDir /root/working/ 
mapFile test.map 
inputFile test.in
[download]

which looks fine to me. One possibility is that you night have a "\r" in the data (did the config file come from Windows?) or in a print statement instead of a "\n".

Update: It is possible to reproduce yur problem with a "\r" appended to the WORKING_DIR in your config file.

Hi, thanks a lot.It really is the '\r'!, I copied the file from windows to linux VM . chomp() or chop() didn't remove it. now i'm using regex. Cheers!	[reply]

If you want chomp to remove the "\r" then: `local $/ = "\r\n";` [download] in your subroutine before you read the config file. chop only removes the last character, regardless of what it is.	[reply] [d/l]
