chompSee the current Perl documentation for chomp. Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version: chomp - remove a trailing record separator from a string
chomp VARIABLE chomp LIST chomp
This is a slightly safer version of chop. It removes any line ending that corresponds to the current value of
while (<>) { chomp; # avoid \n on last field @array = split(/:/); # ... } You can actually chomp anything that's an lvalue, including an assignment:
chomp($cwd = `pwd`); chomp($answer = <STDIN>); If you chomp a list, each element is chomped, and the total number of characters removed is returned. |
