You could use the substitution function to do this. 

$test = "\nText here";
$test =~ s/^\n//; # removes that first end of line character.

Subject: Removing the end of line character?


Hi all,

I want to remove the end of line character from the beginning of a string.
I know that I can use chomp to remove it if it is at the end of the string,
but I don't know how to do it if it is in the front of the field.

Thank you for your advices.

Teddy,
