Re^3: Validate newline delimited email list

"test@test.com " is indeed bad. Notice the trailing space? It's easy to fix the address, though.

sub trim {
   my ($s) = @_;
   for ($s) {
      s/^\s+//;
      s/\s+$//;
      return $_;
   }
}

...
my @other_addresses = map trim, split( /\n/, $email_list );
...

shouldn't chomp() remove the trailing space? i've tried chomp($_) and it looks like the space is still there. i've tried your suggestion above, and it doesn't seem to populate $_	[reply]

Sounds like you added the call to the function, but not the function itself??	[reply]

i've added the function. adding 'sub trim;' to the top of my script gets rid of this error.	[reply]
