In that process i wanted to skip the new line character... for ex: In my program say "a.txt" contains man pan tan In the program open INPUT,"a.txt" or die $!; my @file = <INPUT>; when I print the file, I could see $file[2] and $file[4] has only new line character... So while I store in the array I should skip this character..I tried chop and chomp..Not effective....
