Stripping String of \n

[NashTrump]

Hi There,

Im looking at some data and extracting the bits i need using perl.
Im getting quite alot of success considering ive only started looking at perl in the last month.

However when i extract a certain string from a html page i always get things like \n and \r at the end of the string.

Any idea how i strip this so i only save the word i.e

Test\r\n should be saved as Test.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Nash
