Strip extra info

[fizzwizz]

how do I strip any extra stuff from a text string eg /n ?

Thanks

Well, define extra stuff....

just wanna strip \n tags, use str_replace()

I'd guess you want to get rid of "\n", "\r", " ", "\t", etc.

These are all "whitespace" and can be stripped off the beginning/end with trim();

for example:

$lines=file('input.txt");
foreach($lines as $line)
if ($line=trim($line))
{
// do something with line...

}
