hum... is 'end of line' caracter important ?if not, you can do something like that : while (<FILE>) { chomp; if (/?????/) { ... } } yes ? no ?
Not really, because if the file is Mac line endings, then that will read the entire file in a single gulp. Also, if the file is DOS line endings, then the chomp will remove only the linefeed (unless you have changed $/ to CRLF, in which case it will not remove a single linefeed).
If you fist check the fie and determine the line endings (and the file has consistent line endings, which is not always the case) and set $/ appropriately, then what you suggest will work.
