G'day All, I have this very very simple problem that I can't figure out. Basically I have a 1 line text file with an IP address in it like so...
192.168.0.2 Now all I want to do is open this file up and extract the IP address from it. Now the good thing is I can do this OK but whenever I extract it it seems to be appending a new line on the end of it. Can some one help me and give me some ideas on what I am doing wrong? My code so far looks like this... open (FH, "<$file"); #...and open the textfile for reading @line=<FH>; #Store ppp0 as an array $line =~ /^(\d+\.\d+.\d+\.\d+)/; #Extact the IP address here and stote as $1 print @test; close(FH); printing @test works fine but it appends a new line. The code also won't assign $1 to the IP address? Is it something simple I am doing wrong?
