Hi,
 
I'm new to perl but need to write a script that takes a file and formats
lines.
 
The file has to 2 fields that are tab separated and each field is made up of
items separated by some type of linefeed character. The end of the second
field is identified by another type of linefeed character.
 
When I view the file in VIM the second linefeed shows as a ^M so there must
be a way of identifying these separately.
 
I have tried searching for \r \n  %CR %LF $VT $FF but nothing seems to give
the required effect.
 
I need to run the script on a PC. 
 
Please can you offer some advice or possible places to look.
 
Thanks
 
Andy
