Removing line break character and space from form data

[mccalla]

Hi all,

Tricky question. I know how to remove line break characters and spaces by
using the code below:


$message =~ s/\n//g;
$message =~ s/\s//g;


........... how do you do it if you do not want to remove the first line break??? - but then remove the rest. So in other words, you want to skip the first line break.

Thanks in advance,
mccalla

There will be a number of ways to do this. Heres one way:

$message =~ s/\n/[n]/;
$message =~ s/\n//g;
$message =~ s/\[n\]/\n/;
