Hi Mark,
the "chomp" function will take care of that problem for you. "chomp" removes carriage returns, if any, from the input. you might have also heard of "chop" which removes the last character of a string, which may or may not be a return. So, use "chomp" instead. #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w @array = <STDIN>; # or $scalar = <STDIN>; chomp @array; Hope that helps, Simon --- Mark Thumper Weisman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello List, > I've got an easy one probably, however, I can't figure it out.
