I want to explode on newline in a text file, but explode("\n\r",
$ducks) wasn't doing it, so I thought that it would be good if I could
see where these ascaped characters are. I thought that Kate has a see
[tab|space|newline|carrage return] checkbox, but that must have been
in a different program.

In Jochem's post I see the mistake that I made. I should have googled
for that before I asked. The str_replace in that post worked, and now
I see where I erred. Thanks.
