my $infile = 'infile.txt';
my $outfile = 'outfile.txt';
[tt]
open (INFILE, $infile) or die "Couldn't open $infile : $!\n";
open (OUTFILE, ">$outfile"
or die "Couldn't open $outfile : $!\n";
while (<INFILE>) {
#remove any newline charachters
chomp;
#remove the last charachter
chop;
print OUTFILE $_;
}
close (INFILE);
close (OUTFILE);
[/tt]
