A search on: --------------------[snip]-------------------- I just found this thread, pardon me if I'm off topic, but something like this should work for you. It makes use of the fact that all of the replace functions can take arrays as input parameters. $from = array("/(\r\n)+/", "/(\n\r)+/", "/(\r)+/", "/[\x0..\x19]/"); $repl = array("\n", "\n", "\n", null); $str_cleaned = preg_replace($from, $to, $str_uncleaned); This construction should convert the occurrence of one or more successive newline combinations with a single newline character, and remove control characters at large (untested). -- >O Ernest E.
