Must chop be used in the above statement? @parts contains no line end - I
think - after something like
my @parts= $line=~/^(.{7}).{6}(.{6}).{5}/o;
?

Thanks :-)
[just a very little typo note: one right '}' is missing]
What do you think if one would also put an o modifier here?
@parts = map { do { s/\s*$//o; $_ } } @parts;
Would this still be (much) slower than the tr/// version?
[hmm... ok... I could test it myself]

Oups - I missed this possibility... which would be (just to be complete :-)
@parts = map { do { tr/ //d; $_ }} @parts; # d modifier required
Thanks again :-)
