Re: Re: is array the best way to handle this?

Thanks, this worked beautifully. One more question. This is an example of the text I get in the MESSAGE field:

^M
^M
=================================================^M
DT: AUGUST 7, 2003 ^M
TO: ALL STATIONS / PROGRAM AND NEWS DIRECTORS ^M

How in the world do I get rid of the ^M characters? They are carriage returns from something (I have no idea what). I have tried every regex replace I can think of but nada.

Those are Windows carriage returns. `s/\r//g;` is the regex you're looking for. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
