Subject: extra breaks/line returns in the data file

Is there a way to correct for extra breaks in the data file? When someone hits enter when typing a comment the data file ends up with extra breaks which affects the import into excel. Thanks.

The script automaticaly converts line breaks into <br> for just that reason. So if it is not working that way, then you must have commented out the line: $value2 =~ s|\n|<br>\n|g; in bizmail.cgi.... Or you may be using an older version that did not support this functionality. Or your server is not configured properly. Seth

That one is not commented out - but the following ones are... #$value2 =~ s/~!/ ~!/g; #$value2 =~ s/(\r)+/\-\-/g; #$value2 =~ s/\n+//g; Would those ones make a difference. I am using the latest version.

you can try uncommenting: $value2 =~ s/\n+//g; That may solve your problem. Seth
