Either use notepad, vi, or some other text editor that works with plain text natively ;) Try opening the file in notepad, re-formatting the text if necessary and re-saving it. That's probably the simplest way if you're not able to start from scratch again. If you have the original files you could always just cat them together from the unix command line with 'cat file1.cfg file2.cfg file3.cfg > my_new.cfg'. then use vi or pico to edit it there. -- Marc Powell ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
