place an If statement.
when your variable is not blanc do your thing

else next item

Hi gvanaco,

thanx for answering...

could you pls show me an example how to DELETE the BLANK line from the text file?

I tried to delete using str_replace, didn't help, It doesn't DELETE the black line it just clear it.. (it leaves a little space, like this=> ' ', so that isolate the user names from each...)

thanx in advance...

Just write a script that will not write to a file when it finds a blank variable, when you are done, rename that file.
