Hi, all -- I have a php script which writes comments out to a file in the format
field@@comment
field@@comment
...
and everything has worked delightfully -- until someone put in a newline
in one of the items and now we have
field@@com
ment
field@@comment
...
and things break. I read the file, line by line, and parse on @@ as my
separator, so anything after a newline is lost.
I thought I'd just replace that newline with a <br> since that's what the
user really wants, but I can't get rid of the \n while I'm at it; through
various attempts at directly replacing or using variables or such like
preg_replace("/\n/","<br>",$mydatastring) ;
preg_replace("/$newline/","$linebreak",$mydatastring) ;
I get mixed results of
field@@com<br>
ment
or
field@@com
<br>ment
but in no case have I managed to get
field@@com<br>ment
which is what I want.
Is there a way to turn off the recognition of \n as an end of line and
instead operate on the entire $mydatastring?
TIA & HAND
:-D
