Re^2: Problem with files read to array split on empty lines

[jhoop]

Thanks very much for the input. The files were created on the same Linux server on which the script was originally attempted. They were downloaded to my Win7 machine via the cPanel web UI. I will test your suggestions on the remote system and report back. I do not imagine it would do much good to test it on the local system, because if tobyink is correct the line endings could have been converted upon downloading the files.
