in reply to newline substitution is removing text too

There are probably also carriage returns in the file as well. tr/\r//d or s/\r//g will remove them.

    I just ran a /\r/ search of the file, and nothing came up. While I can see this happening, aren't those also converted to "\n" by Perl automatically, unless told to do otherwise? And even if it didn't, would they show up in other applications?

    And even then, why would it be in the middle of a line of text or HTML tag?

    Thanks for the idea, though, I hadn't thought of that possibility.
