Re: EOF (End of File) character..

I think EOF depends on the application/OS... Try chr(26) [Control-Z] and chr(4) [Control-D] Or have I just been using too many Un*x programs that can't agree on how to indicate the end of my typing? :-^ If those don't work, try everything below 32. Well, okay, I *know* it's not 9, 10, or 13 :-) If all else fails, take a file that works, and get PHP to read it char by char... Hey, maybe you just need a newline at the end! "\n" (aka chr(13)) Or, in Windoze, "\r\n" (aka chr(10) . chr(13)) -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
