Hi all,

I have a question:

When I try to use a coed line like

print "  $somenumber means that, $output has info.\n";

I get different screen outputs in Windows and Linux (tried different shells).

In windows it looks like it's supposed to be, which is:

3 means that, text.txt has info.

But under Linux it looks like this:

has info.hat, text.txt

So it looks like it goes back to the start of the line and overwrites the first part of the string after a variable is supposed to be printed. Why is that?

---------------------------------

ww observes that the output shown does not support the supposition of the OP (immediately above)... BASED on the info supplied.
