Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: Added character when invoking PUSH

S_Shrum User Jan 29, 2001, 10:19 AM Post #1 of 4 (307 views) Added character when invoking PUSH Can't Post Me again... I am running into a problem. I open a flatfile pipe delimited database. In a while (FILE) construct I'm CHOMP $_; in order to get rid of the carriage ruturn and then place the whole line contents into an array called @contents. This part is working ok. After all that I PUSH the first line off the @contents array into another array called @fields. At this point however, the problem surfaces...there is a extra character at the end of the line (the last field name). I tried CHOMPing the @fields but that changed the data into '0'. Ideas?

Chop cuts off the last character of the string, where as chomp will only take off the last character if it is a line-ending character. http://toarmino.com Custom Perl Database Programming

I tried using CHOP but that failed to work. Using the SUBSTR function I am omitting the last character. Thanx for the help. Sean Shrum sean@shrum.net www.shrum.net
