Subject: How to Find Hidden Characters -- maybe related to whitespace issue --------------------------------- Greetings all. I'm having one !@#%$#$^$%^& of a time figuring this out. Can anyone out there help? The Task: Taking the information from the error/cferror variables saving them in a log file which can then be displayed in EXCEL, with one column per variable. The Problem: everything works EXCEPT error.diagnostics, which insists on placing itself in two columns. The Analysis: The diagnostics information is preformatted by coldFusion and contains a hidden cr/lf or paragraph marker(s) that I can not seem "read" programmatically so that I can remove it. The Question: How do I do this... remove these hidden characters? Testing so far has shown that I can remove the hidden marker by removing a block of space in which it is contained, but it requires that I have seen where it occurs and for which type of error and an assumption that it will always "look" the same for each error. If I try to remove just "extra spaces" in a loop, the hidden character does not get "caught" and remains. Anyone have any ideas.... I've been working on this for several days. Any help would be very much appreciated.
