The problem is that these characters are added when printing the output to file. Even if I remove these with chomp or chop they will be added again when I write the data to file.

I had to mess with chomp and chop both (you might have to play with them to get your format exactly right), there might be a more efficient way to do this, but this works: *********************************************** while ($logResp ne "") { $logResp = <LOGRESP>; chop $logResp; $eol = "\r\n"; $sendLR .= "$logResp$eol"; } chomp $sendLR; chop $sendLR; #do something with $sendLR ********************************************************** -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Charles Scheepers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 2:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: linefeed Hi All I am having a problem with linefeed. I have written a program that writes records to an output file. The program that uses this file as input requires that all records are ended with "\x0A" and not CRLF (\x0D\x0A). This program runs on UNIX. How do I ensure that records are ended only with \x0A??? Do I have to use an other method than: print FILHNDL "Text...";??? Regards, Charles Scheepers Pr.Eng.
