Can not do a strpos after a fgets

I can not seem to read in a like from a file and test to see if it has a tag in it. It always returns back false. Can some one tell me what is up with this code. I have tried it with just memory varables and it works find but when you load $buffer from a fgets the strpos command does not seem to work. ------------ JUNK1.PHP -------------- <% $templatefp = fopen("junk2.php","r"); while (!feof($templatefp)) { $buffer = fgets($templatefp, 4096); # echo $buffer; $buffer = addslashes($buffer); # Look for a terminator echo $buffer."y"; if (!strpos($buffer,"#")){ echo " Has pound ";}else{echo " Not found";} } fclose ($templatefp); %> ---------- JUNK2.PHP --------------- #junk# ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
