Re: Problems with formatting the results of my regex

If your log files have CRLF line endings you can also open them for reading via the :crlf layer so that chomp will remove the carriage return as well as the line feed.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ hexdump -C xxx.crlf 
00000000  4c 69 6e 65 20 31 0d 0a  4c 69 6e 65 20 32 0d 0a  |Line 1..L
+ine 2..|
00000010  4c 69 6e 65 20 33 0d 0a  4c 69 6e 65 20 34 0d 0a  |Line 3..L
+ine 4..|
00000020  4c 69 6e 65 20 35 0d 0a                           |Line 5..|
00000028
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E '
> open $in, q{<:crlf}, q{xxx.crlf} or die $!;
> while ( <$in> )

I hope this is helpful.
