Re: catching \n

You are probably looking for /g, substitute globally. Your example will only get the first \r and \n in $blah. Just use something like this which will also handle DOS style returns

$blah =~ s/\r?\n/<br>/g;

Or, if you want to be really portable, you could use `s/\r?\n\|\n?\r//g`. That should catch most every platform's newline style, IIRC. bbfu Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath	[reply] [d/l]

If the web client (browser) doesn't use ASCII "\r\n"¹ for newline in the text it sends to you, then the web client is broken, IMHO. ¹Note that this is not ambiguous. I know that "\r\n" on old Macs results in ASCII "\n\r", but that is because those Macs are near-ASCII systems despite them claiming to be ASCII systems. q-: - tye	[reply]
