in reply to Replace new line with white space

I suspect that what you really need is chomp, and that you don't need a regex at all. 
while (<$fh>) {
    chomp; # Line in $_ no longer has trailing \n

However, without seeing your code we can't confidently advise you either way.

    Thanks for responding. But chomp only trims the new line at the end of the string.
