1. Your file contains \r\r\n (\015\015\012) sequences. It occurs when a file with
"\r\n"s is read into Perl script some "binary way" and then written out in a text
mode. In text mode all "\n" are changed to "\r\n" (and so "\r\n" are changed to
"\r\r\n")
2. The file contains some HTML tags and "tag-like" parts too. The IE forces to parse
it as HTML then for M$ applications use to think they are ever smarter then you are.
If you want to show *this* file like is *intended* (not like it realy is) you have to
use something like this:
if (open TXT1,"G:/Dropbox/SMatte/WebRoot/test/bs.txt") {
$buffer = join '', (<TXT1>);
$buffer =~ s/<([^>]+)>/<$1>/g; # it converts tags to text
$buffer =~ s/\r\n/\n/g; # "\r\r\n" are changed back to "\r\n" if the
file is read in text mode
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<pre>$buffer</pre>"; # white spaces are preserved
}

Subject: Re: howto display text file as it is
Hi all
Thanks for your suggestions.. I did write a
small snippet of code as suggested ....
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
if (open TXT1,"G:/Dropbox/SMatte/WebRoot/test/bs.txt")
) {
@array=<TXT1>;
print @array;
close(TXT1);
} # if
else
{ print "Failed to open file\n";
}
But it still does not work.
The link to the program is http://fraank.eycarat.ukans.edu/dev/test/print1.pl
Raw file: bs1.txt
http://fraank.eycarat.ukans.edu/dev/test/bs1.txt
Can some one suggest me how to get this working.I am
running an IIS webserver on a windows 2000 machine.
Should i change any server settings to get this
display as it is.I also want to point out to you guys
about something i noticed. the above problem is not consistent.some of the other files
dont have this problem(though they have sgml tags in them). the browser seems to
recognize the text files.
you can access one of the other file which works fine
at :
http://fraank.eycarat.ukans.edu/dev/test/print2.pl
Rawfile: bs2.txt
http://fraank.eycarat.ukans.edu/dev/test/bs2.txt
waiting for your suggestions
