attached CGI to remove special characters.
Hello List, I mentioned that I'd fixed my problem with the special characters. Everybody had some great tips... I like to use Adobe Go Live to design web pages and it has a text editor that leaves file in the right format... so I just used it to save the files. If you use NOTEPAD or many others... they will not save them properly. I asked Sim Ayers about my problem.. (he's the one who sold me the great scripts.) He sent me the attached CGI script that will remove them automatically... I haven't used it... but thought I'd share it with the list. BE CAREFUL... it will remove them from every file that is in the directory and all sub directories. RECURSIVE!!! Just make you a special directory under your cgi-bin and then you can run this program by pointing to it on the command line of your browser... it has some commands in it that will tell you about errors if you do it this way. Again... thanks for all the help. John Ford HIS ORIGINAL MESSAGE TO ME FOLLOWS.. __ John, Perl Studio will always save the file in the Windows CR -LF style. Run the attached file in the directory you have the scripts. It will replace all the Window line feeds with a Unix line feed. Run it in a test directory first. It will recurse into subdirectories.

My problem is the line feed character after each line. How do I make perl-studio save files without the windows line feed - but save the file in unix format. Thanks.

This causes the file to be messed up when I put it on the Linux server. That's a carriage return. DOS/Windows ends a line with a carriage return followed by a line feed. Unix ends a line with a line feed only. You can easily convert between DOS/Windows and Unix files using "tuc" which you can find in the /unix/tuc/ directory of ftp://ftp.int80h.org . Just download tuc.exe for Windows, or the .tar.gz file for Unix. Adam --- Whiz Kid Technomagic - brand name computers for less.

special characters messing me up
I can't figure out why my windows machine leaves "^M" character at the end of each line of code. This causes the file to be messed up when I put it on the Linux server. It makes my perl interpreter look for a file named ^M after the very first line. #!/usr/sbin/perl also... what else I can't figure out is why this special character is sometimes hidden and sometimes visible in my Emacs program in Linux... this is the program I used in which I found the problem. anybody know?

RE: install help - FREE cordless phone.
I got connected finally... actually I've connect several times but each time something else happens that changes things. I typo'd the myslq.sock line in the /etc/my.cnf file but... I need to make sure my DBI is installed correctly. I followed the instructions based on the manual... but do not understand if these modules are supposed to reside in the perl base directory or not. the manual keeps talking about what to do if you don't have system directory access... but I do! Please let me know what directory I should run these commands from... I don't understand if these commands actually change the perl interpreter... or if they just put these modules where they can be found by the perl interpreter. If you can help.. thanks... The Perl distributions are provided as compressed tar archives and have names like `MODULE-VERSION.tar.gz', where MODULE is the module name and VERSION is the version number. You should get the Data-Dumper, DBI, and Msql-Mysql-modules distributions and install them in that order. The installation procedure is shown below. The example shown is for the Data-Dumper module, but the procedure is the same for all three distributions: Unpack the distribution into the current directory: shell gunzip Data-Dumper-VERSION.tar.gz | tar xvf - This command creates a directory named `Data-Dumper-VERSION'. Change into the top-level directory of the unpacked distribution: shell cd Data-Dumper-VERSION Build the distribution and compile everything: shell perl Makefile.PL shell make shell make test shell make install The make test command is important because it verifies that the module is working. Note that when you run that command during the Msql-Mysql-modules installation to exercise the interface code, the MySQL server must be running or the test will fail. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
