Hi there!
I really Need help!
In a nutshell: The output here:
print "start" . $type . "end";
is unequals the output here:
open (FH, 'out.txt');
print FH "start" . $type . "end";
close FH;
Some more details:
I receive an email via Mail::IMAPClient and store the message in one single scalar variable. Thereafter, use some RegEx to find several pieces of text.
The RegEx look like this:
my $type = "";
if ($msgString =~ m/Typ\s*:\s*(\w+)/i) {
$type = $1;
$type =~ s/\r\n//g;
}#if
print "start" . $type . "end";
This should give me:
start orange end
This works on a couple of text pieces I am after but on some the console output is screwed up and looks like this:
start range
As you can see, the first letter is missing and the final "end" string is not printed at all.
I even tried something like this and could believe my eyes:
print "start" . $type . "end\n";
print "$type\n";
print "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$type\n";
Console output:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
endrange
And keep in mind: When I write to a file, I get exactly what everbody would expect.
Any ideas?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
