How to handle "\" indicating next line

Hi all, I am writing a code that would check line by line content of a line before processing it. Problem occurs when there are lines that has character "\" indicating a new line. For example preprocessor http_inspect: global \ iis_unicode_map unicode.map 1252 When that happen, my code should

RE: file :: find problem

First of all, you're assuming a context that may or may not be there. You're assuming that the OP is creating a script that can be used on multiple operating systems, regardless of the file separator. In any case, it's good advice to use the '/' separator wherever possible, but to tell someone th

Seems like a good solution for my needs, but how do I use it in a perl program instead of an inline command? For example, if I try to set a variable with such a value: $a = (1<<$Config{ivsize}*8-1)-1; I get an error "Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at" Thanks, Alon On

RE: read column into array

How about something like this? I'm returning just the second element of the resulting list of using split() on $_. This shortcut for getting just one element of a list can be used on any function that returns a list. Naturally this is not the most efficient method, so your mileage may vary.

RE: file :: find problem

(quote from below): "The file separator in perl is '/', not '\\'" That's not necessarily true. It depends on the module and the context. Many modules will take the path in either format. In this case Perl was interpreting their code correctly, because otherwise it would not have given the
