spaces at the end of a filename

kellyrmilligan

I have a perl script that goes through a directory, etc, and manipulates some files. Every once in a great while, I get a file that it can't find, and I see that someone has save the file with a space at the end of the filename.

when I go through the directory, spaces in the filename are fine, but a space at the end kills it. Has anyone dealth with this before besides telling users not to do it? how do I pick this up in my script?

Way to crosspost. You posted this exact same question in the Perl forum. The answer is the same. Use a regex to clean up the whitespace. Yawn again.
