Question Perl Scripting to remove single cotes (')
Hii,

I am creating a perl script to read a text and remove the ' at the end of each line only. But I am not getting any sucess. The text file is as follows.

exec ''sp_prepexec'
exec ''sp_prepexec'
exec ''sp_prepexec'
exec ''sp_prepexec'
exec ''sp_prepexec'

Request your help to solve the same in perl.

Thanks in Advance
