I'd do validation on the user input on the form and remove it there. The 
^k is used to show a control code, they begin at ^a (control-A, ASCII 1) 
so ^k is ASCII 11.

[PHP] ^k ? -- how do I match that?

2002-07-15 Thread Jimmy Brake

Hi!

I keep getting that evil little character ... ^k  from mac users (pre X)
and I need to remove it. Does anyone know how to remove?

This site has that character as a vertical tab. This character is what
is used in MS Excel when people hit return inside a cell. If they copy
and paste that into a form its ok, but when I export that data to a csv
it gets ugly.

Thanks in advance!

Just try eregi_replace(\^k[.+], , $container);

Regular expressions are the MASTERS of the INTARWEB! :o)
