Beating my brow I ask the breathren the following: I have remade my news page script so that the text file no longer contains table rows. This has simplified displaying individual posts (which are seperated by 3 newlines in the txt file) for my Delete_A_Post form.
However, I am having a heck of a time making $_ the value of the checkboxes since $_ contains double quotes. If I clean out the quotes with a regex, I screw the html contained in $_. I could ditch the ability to set font face for each post which would let me rid the posts of the double quotes but I have been scolded for not quoting my values and so I wish to be good.The code I am currently using to create the text boxes follows, but I think the problem is not there so much as it is with my txt file contents.
Advice will be greeted with knishes!
TIA

print qq|Delete This Post? \n
            <input type=checkbox name="box$post_number" value=" $_ "<p
+>
              $_<hr>\n<p>\n<br><br><br>\n|;
