Re: extra spaces in textarea

For what is worth, I couldn't reproduce your problem either.

Here is the script I used:

#! /usr/bin/perl -Tw

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard); # for parsing the input from the HTML

my @linesHead;

##### saves data to file
open (FILE,">/home/league/currentHeader.txt") or die "cannot open file
+: $!";
flock (FILE, 2) or die "cannot lock file exclusively: $!";
print FILE param('head');
close(FILE);

#### reads data from file
open(FILE,"</home/league/currentHeader.txt") or die "cannot read data:
+ $!";
@linesHead = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

### displays code in textarea
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><body>";
print "<center><form><textarea name=head rows=6 cols=60 wrap=soft>";
print @linesHead;
print "<\/textarea><\/form><\/center>"; 
print "<\/body><\/html>";

I tried to used at least part of what you did so I could try and recreate the problem, but as I said could not. I do agree that you should not be using an array in this way nor should you be embedding the HTML with the Perl.

Still, to your point. Have you tried a variety of browsers? Have you tried changing the wrap to virtual or just off altogehter. Just grasping at straws.....

I admit it, I am Paco.
