Re: How do I handle mid-line carriage returns in a flatfile database?

in reply to How do I handle mid-line carriage returns in a flatfile database?

Usually i prefer to uri-encode multiline fields so i can preserve LF and CR... you can do this way:

use URI::Escape;
my $safe_field = uri_escape($field);

## now you can put $safe_field in the db 
## without worry about CR/LF a

## restore it:

$field = uri_unescape($safe_field);
