blank line at the end of the file??

[dreamwest]

Im writing to a file but this put a blank line at the end, the reason why is because of r\n which is like<br> in html.

 

 
$current .= $buffer."r\n";  //has over 1000 lines 
file_put_contents($save_as, $current);

 

How can i get rid of this blank line at the end of the file??

you said it's appearing because of the "r\n".  What do you think you need to do to make it go away?

[dreamwest]

!somehow!  work out when the last line will be

 

I need the written file to be line by line so i cant remove it completley

Once your done you could use rtrim to remove the last newline before writing to the file.

Just what i was looking for.  Thanks!

you'd have to put it ALL into $buffer before you put it into the file.. to have rtrim() work correctly in this scenario

That is exactly what he is doing.

That is exactly what he is doing.

 

not from what is shown... there is most likely some sort of a loop surrounding it all.. because than there is absolutely no reason to add the crlf at the end anyway.. in your case he doesn't even need to USE rtrim() he would just remove ."\r\n" lol

Yeah it is a buffer with a loop, heres the finished script:

 

Check to make sure proper amount of deliminators "|" in a file

$handle = @fopen("1.txt", "r");

if ($handle) {

$count = 1;
    
while (!feof($handle)) {
    
$buffer = trim(fgets($handle, 10096));
$check = explode('|', $buffer);
$check = trim($check[1]);
        
if ($check == "" || $check == " " ){
//delete line
    $err .= "ERROR on line {$count} - {$buffer}<br>";
    }else{
    
      //write the rest to a new file
    $current .= $buffer."\n";
    }
++$count;
}
fclose($handle);
}

$current = rtrim($current);
file_put_contents("2.txt", $current);
