Hi - Use this simple regex:
$var =~ s/ //g; or if your variable is in $_, just s/ //g; Aloha => Beau. -----Original Message----- From: learn perl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 1:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: deleting spaces Hi guys, I have a simple question. Is there ways to get rid of any spaces within a variable? say the variable holds " R" or "R " or " R ". is there a function I could use for that? I tried chomp but it will only get rid of the last space but not the leading spaces.
