name outputfile problem

[Huub]

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.

You haven't chomp()'ed the string.
I assume you mean the name of the file?

Ok, got it. Thanks.

Ok, got it. Thanks.

Next time: post some code. My answer was an absolute guess.

What happened when you tried that?

It has been solved by chomp()-ing the name. Thanks for reacting.
