Remove newline

[policy]

I'm printing the lines from a text file.

As I read the lines I would like to remove the linebreak but I can't seem to get it working.

I have tried this:

Perl Code:

$line =~ tr/\015//;
$line =~ tr/\n//;
$line =~ tr/\r// 
 

But it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

tr/// has no concept of what you are trying to do, s/// would work (I think) but perl has the chomp() function which is specifically for removing the input record seperator (or line endings) which is by default a newline (\r\n on windows).

Code:

chomp($line);

I was not aware of the chomp() function. This works fine for my purposes. thanks!

You could also use something like :

open(F,"<$ARGV[0]") or die("No file specified.\n");
my @data=<F>;
close(F);

my $blah=join("",@data);

# notice m
$blah =~ s/[\n\r]//mg;

print $blah;
