name outputfile problem

Hi,

I have a little problem. When I execute a script un Linux, it asks for a
name for the file to written, e.g. 'temp' (without the quotes of
course). When I want to open the written file it can't be found and it
turns out the filename has got an '?' added to its name. So, instead of
'temp' the filename is 'temp?'. In the code I can't find anything that
causes that '?' to be added.
What could be the cause of this addition?

Thanks,

Huub

You haven't chomp()'ed the string.
