[Resolved] Double lines

[trooper]

I'm creating a file by reading one using the file(file.txt)

I'm using a for loop to pull out only X lines from the original file and then writing them to the new file.

Strange thing is in the original file each line is directly underneath the previous on
e.g
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

However when i write the lines to the new file they have a space inbetween then

e.g
line 1

line 2

line 3

What is the reason for the extra lines?

Here is my code for you to laugh at 😃

$session_data = file($file); <- original file
$fp1 = fopen("cookie.txt","w+"); <- new file 
for($i=6;$i<10;$i++)
{
	fwrite($fp1,$session_data[$i]); 
}
fclose($fp1);

Cheers guys

Try opening the new file with the 'b' switch and see if it changes...

$fp1=fopen("cookie.txt","bw+");

Then try the 't' switch if that doesn't fix it.

$fp1=fopen("cookie.txt","tw+");

My guess is file() is keeping the CRLF (or just CR) when reading in the lines and fwrite() is adding another???....

the text file may be saved as Microsoft Format (CRLF) not UNIX Format (CR). It will give you empty line when it is read into UNIX format.
