Re: Text strangeness after using SMB to get a file

[Paladin]

Since you mention SMB, I am assuming the files come from a Windows machine of some sort. Chances are that the files have DOS line endings, but your script is running on Solaris, which is assuming *nix line endings. Try running the file through a dos2unix utility to change the line endings first.

Or you could just use:

perl -i.bak -pe 's/\r\n/\n/' *

So instead of:

chomp($csvLine);

I could do:

$csvLine =~ s/\r\n//;

?

If you know it's always in DOS format.
