[RESOLVED] writing strings from array to file

imnu

I loop through an array and write each line from the array to a file, but the out file contains only a single line. How do I add a line break to each line when it is written to the file?

Thanks.

\n will make a new line for unix, windows will want \r\n.

Thanks a lot. It worked. I have another question. If I have a line of string like this:

----assdfa----fsdfsdfasdfsdfsf------------

How do I remove the dashes at the end? The number of dashes at the end varies with each line. I would like to remove them and replace them with an * and some ? (question marks). I was thinking of some string functins that allow me to count characters from the end, and other functions to subtract or replace them.

Thanks.

Only at the end? You probably want [man]ereg_split[/man] or [man]preg_split[/man] ....

imnu

could you show me an example? thanks.

[man]rtrim[/man] would do nicely here, as well.
