Well, if you do `cat rooms.txt` what do you see? `> cat rooms.txt bed-There is ...` [download] or `> cat rooms.txt bed-There is ...` [download] If you see the second variant, then you have a \n at the start of your file. Maybe you should read the file line by line, or sanitize your input.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
