I want to eliminate the ". " (periord) or "," (comma) from records that I return from a query, but I cannot figure out how to approach it. Does Perl have a way that I can match a string that from an array, remove a character or characters?


For example say I have array @records that contain the following:

Myrecord1 Myrecord2 Myrecord3 Myrecord4 Myrecord5, inc. Myrecord6, LP Myrecord7, LLC

I want to send this query out to persons in a .csv file but the join(",", @record) statement that I am using causes the and extra cell to be created at Myrecord5, inc. Myrecord6, LP Myrecord7, LLC.

How about?

tr/.,//d foreach @records;
