agustina_s has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Perlmonks. How to get rid of extra spaces before the input separator \r\n ? I have a flat file input separated by \r\n., Sample input : For a few input lines, there are extra spaces before the \r\n, for eg : This cause trouble in my program even though I have check for extra spaces in my regex. This is part of my working program : I use flag in case the item consists of more than one line. The entry is always quoted, so I use the " to check whether it is already the end of the item. What should I do since it's not possible for me to check the input files and remove the extra spaces.
Thank you in advanced.
