The goal here is to make this data into a flat file of continuous text (including the |fs). texttext|fstexttexttext|fs

I know how to get rid of the carriage returns using s/\n//g, but haven't had any luck in finding the way to get rid of the line feeds following the |fs.

Perhaps that file has mixed newline conventions? Does

    $entire_file_content =~ tr/\015\012//d;

do what you need?
