Hi, Got a bit of an odd one (I expect it has something to do with the data thats being passed in)
# my @split = split /\n|\r/, $message; my @split = split /[\n\r]/, $message; foreach (@split) { $_ =~ s/^[\n\r]//sig; $_ =~ s/[\n\r]$//sig; print "BLA ... \"$_\" <br />"; }
This outputs:
BLA ... "== another main header" BLA ... " " BLA ... " " BLA ... " dfgdfg" BLA ... " " BLA ... " === a sub header" BLA ... " dfgdfg" BLA ... " " BLA ... " === another new sub header" BLA ... " " BLA ... " sdfsdf" BLA ... " " BLA ... " ==== a sub-sub header" BLA ... " g" BLA ... " dsfgdsf" BLA ... " The actual code being passed in (via a textarea box), is: == another main header dfgdfg === a sub header dfgdfg === another new sub header sdfsdf ==== a sub-sub header g dsfgdsf
I just can't work out why its putting a extra newline breaks, where there shouldn't be (I want one line of data per line, and that it)

Any suggestions?

TIA

Andy
