I have newline characters breaking up my data that I need to remove; however, I can only identify them by looking at the begining of the line, so I need to remove the preceding newline character under those conditions.

I hope this makes sense?

I can only identify them by looking at the begining of the line

Not sure I understand that statement but 'chomp' is the function you are looking for. I assume you are reading the data in line by line in a loop of some sort.
If you chomp them all out, you would need to put the newlines back in where appropriate

Perfect!
Chomp did the job, thank you.
