(1) Don't shout in the subject. It annoys people. (2) file() doesn't do that. It's a bug if it does it. (3) How did you see that the blanks are cut out? By doing a echo "Line: '$Line'<br>" ? Then of course you don't see the blanks - you're looking at HTML code. -- Christian Reiniger LGDC Webmaster (http://sunsite.dk/lgdc/) Error 032: Recursion error - see error 032
