Re: Trailing spaces

You're very close: $string =~ s/\s*$//; As far as I know, tr can't tell position. One space is the same as any other. Hence the s///.

HTH

Update: Oops. Forgot the quantifier.

YA Update: Abigail is correct, + is better. That's what happens when you rush to fix an "oops"....

Using `s/\s$//` is not to be recommended, as that will always match (and hence do a substitution). Use of `` means zero or more times. Use `+` instead. -- Abigail	[reply] [d/l] [select]
