Hello All,

I'm having some issues with carriage returns. Specifically the control M
character (^M). I have attempted to clean and validate the file I'm
creating. Here's the code.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

// assign and clean vars
$artist = trim($row[artist]);
$tdDate = trim($row[start_date]);
$venue = trim($row[venue]);
$city = trim($row[CITY]);
$state = trim($row[STATE]);
$country = trim($row[COUNTRY]);
$tdId = trim($row[td_id]);

// create string

$line = "$artist|||$tdDate||$venue|$city|$state|$country|$tdId\n";

// validate the string

if(preg_match("/.*.|||.*.||.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.n\//", $line)){
// record is correct so write line to file
fwrite($handle,$line);
}




}


So ^M slips right by trim and my preg_match line.

Any ideas??

TIA
