Re: DOS characters

If $text_area =~ s/\n//g; is working for you now, other than the ^M issue, try:

$text_area =~ s/[\r\n]+//g;
[download]

Though, I would think you'd want to replace EOL chars with a space, otherwise the first word on one line will get glued onto the last word in the previous line. I'd suggest:

$text_area =~ s/[\r\n]+/ /g;
[download]

instead to avoid this situation.

Transliteration would be more efficient than a regexp for this kind of operation: `$text_area =~ tr/\r\n/ /s;` [download] This removes any sequence of carriage returns or newlines, replacing them with a single space.	[reply] [d/l]
