Hi All, One problem that often encounter is with line endings. I have to parse several kinds of files routinely and often these are generated in excel and therefore it is hard to anticipate which line ending I actually have. It seems to me that during while loops, if the line ending is not a LF, the line are not read properly. What often do is to open the file on gedit and save as for unix.
What I was wondering is: is there any way to force perl to use other line ending characters, like MacOS CR? Thanks!
