Removing spaces..
Every line of data ends with a carriage return and what looks like a space. I can remove the carriage returns, but how do I remove a space only at the end of the data? if I remove any spaces inside the data, the purpose is lost.Thanks.

I think you guys should make clear that there is a space in your regex (ie before the $ in tintins and before the * in amitabhrai's)
if it is because you are moving the files from windows then windows puts carriage return and line feed together
so try this
$data =~ s/\f//g; # removes line feed characters
$data =~ s/\r//g; # removes carriage return characters
$data =~ s/\n//g; # removes newline characters
assuming you are using $data
this will remove all linefeed, charage return, or new line characters.
so try this
$data =~ s/\f//g; # removes line feed characters
$data =~ s/\r//g; # removes carriage return characters
$data =~ s/\n//g; # removes newline characters

this will remove all linefeed, charage return, or new line characters.

I Think you are facing a problem in moving files from windows to unix or linux system. if it is so then the problem is of carriage return. you can use different ways to transfer the files so that you can avoid this problem. like if you are moving files through any ftp software then use ASCII mode it will autmotically remove carriage returns. secondly there is a command too in linux to remove any text from the whole file but i forgot its syntax now.
