You still haven't said what "as they should" means. You say that \n's don't print as they should, but not what actually happens. Do they just disappear entirely? Do they get turned into something else? What?

Hi guys, gals!

        I have a pretty big string that I am inserting into MySQL via the
$dbh->quote($str) function, this works great however now when I pull the
data back out of the database and go to write it to a file the \n
characters
that were inserted by quote are not being written back out as carriage
returns as desired.  How can do a reverse of quote() or just get those
"\n"'s to print out as they should! =) ahh.. I'm frustrated, I tried
everything even split('\n',$str) and then reinserting the "\n".  Doesn't
work, please help!

Thanks in advance!
Brian

What do you mean by "as they should"? After all, "\n" isn't a carriage return.
