You've already solved your problem about single q
This should work!
Can you give us a bit more context?
To be precise:
$title = "The Linux Programmer's Guide ";
$title =~ s/\s*$//;
That works.
If you don't get "The Linux Programmer's Guide" there has to
be something wrong in the code around that bit.

Hi David,
try this one.
$title=~s/ *$//;
it does an in-place search for all trailing spaces and replaces them
with nothing.

Try this:
it just replaces MORE then one whitespace...
$title = "The Linux Programmer's Guide ";
$title =~ s/\s+$//;

Hi,
I'm working on my very first perl application, which is a front end to
a database for the LDP. I am trying to truncate a string, using:
$title =~ s/\s*$//;
where $title = "The Linux Programmer's Guide "
and it is being truncated after the ' mark. All I want to do is remove
the trai
