Re: [PHP] Re: file() and macintosh line break
I was having a tough time with a Mac file uploaded and squeezed into one line. My friend Shawn helped me write the following which cleans it up. Remove the echo statement to just change it and not see the change. Also, avoid trying to fix the file, make a new one, if you can. Hope this helps. Josh 1 ? 2 $data_file = data.csv; 3 $newdatafile = new_data.csv; 4 5 $file=fopen($data_file, r); 6 $newfile = fopen($newdatafile,w); 7 8 $filecontents = fread($file,filesize($data_file)); 9 echo $filecontents; 10 echo brbr; 11 $newfilecontents = preg_replace((\r\n|\n|\r),\n,$filecontents); 12 13 echo nl2br($newfilecontents); 14 15 fwrite($newfile,$newfilecontents); 16 fclose($file); 17 fclose($newfile); 18 ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: file() and macintosh line break
just a thought, mac line break is \r you can open and save it as unix that should get rid of the weird problem, unless you need it to work for numerous uncotrolled file flow, then replacing \r might work with a FOR loop. You might have to fwrite to a new file there \r will become \n and have that be processed as a continuum of the same script.

Re: [PHP] Re: file() and macintosh line break
Here's a bug report: file() - incorrect behavior (line endings ignored) on files with Mac EOLN (CR) http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16521 Maybe some kind soul will fix this before PHP 4.3.0 :) http://cvs.php.net Regards, Philip Olson On Thu, 2 May 2002, eat pasta type fasta wrote: just a thought, mac line break is \r you can open and save it as unix that should get rid of the weird problem, unless you need it to work for numerous uncotrolled file flow, then replacing \r might work with a FOR loop.

Re: [PHP] Re: file() and macintosh line break
I agree -- if this is a once-off problem, then just open the file in a Windows or Unix machine, re-save it, and the problem should be solved. If the Mac user has BBEdit or BBEdit lite, one of the options they have is to save in Unix and Windows format, which fixes the problem simply. Of course if this is an ongoing thing, or if you don't have control over the mac user, or the opportunity to convert the files as above, then there seem to be some other ideas floating around this thread :) Justin French on 02/05/02 2:49 PM, eat pasta type fasta ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: just a thought, mac line break is \r you can open and save it as unix that should get rid of the weird problem, unless you need it to work for numerous uncotrolled file flow, then replacing \r might work with a FOR loop.
