TextWrangler inserts | characters in form

bobafifi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I did some editing to a Perl script using TextWrangler (I usually use TextEdit) and now the form is returning pipe (|) characters between every word in a sentence, like so -- "the | brown | fox | jumped | over | etc." -- other than that, script still works. Any ideas what to look for that would cause this?

Any ideas what to look for that would cause this? Look for the changes you did, they caused this new behavior. Honestly, what do you expect from us, debugging code changes you don't show us? Please read How (Not) To Ask A Question. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

bobaflfl: Use `diff` (unix) or `fc` (windows) to compare the current version of your program with the previous version. Pay special attention to the code around line 42. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
