I would like to create a perl script that reads lines from an ascii
file, but that reads them regardless of whichever of the three variants
(<CR>, <LF> or <CR><LF>) is actually in use as end-of-line, *without*
knowing beforehand which is the case. The script should run on many
systems (so installing a special version of Perl is out of the question).
Now perl has the input_line_separator which you can set to a value,
sadly though, it is not a regular expression. Which means that I am
looking for a trick or a method to handle text files line by line
regardless of end-of-line character.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
SH
