yes, that's possible, but why don't you show the code you tested?
I modified my example and the result looks like the wanted...
while ( my $line = <DATA> ) {
chomp $line;
# remove the spaces from start of line
if ( ! ( $line =~ s/^\s+// ) ) {
print "\n" if $. != 1;
}
# remove spaces from end of line
$line =~ s/\s+$//;
print $line;
}
__DATA__
