I have a form that is using the POST method to add to a flat file database.
The parse subroutine uses the following lines:
I am having trouble because the output has far too many "returns" placed in it. I am previewing the output prior to adding to the database by placing the values into another form. But, the "returns" (\n) are continually multiplied with each preview/modify so that what is finally printed into the flatfile has far to much space between what should only be paragraphs. I placed print statements before and after the above lines and here is the output: BEFORE: Nautical+Inn+Resort%2C+located+on+Placencia+Peninsula%2C+Belize%2C+offers+beach+accommodations%2C+great+dining%2C+SCUBA+diving%2C+snorkeling%2C+Jaguar+Reserve%2C+Monkey+River%2C+Maya+Ruins+plus+the+culture+of+Garifuna+drummers+and+dancers+all+rolled+into+an+exciting+Belize+vacation.+You%27ll+find+us+where+the+Caribbean+meets+the+jungle%21+%0D%0A%0D%0A%3CP%3E%0D%0A%0D%0ANautical+Inn+occupies+4+acres+on+Placencia+Peninsula.+Twelve+beach+front+rooms+have+air+conditioning%2C+ceiling+fans%2C+modern+bathrooms+and+great+beds.+Mahogany+and+wicker+furniture+are+accented+with+a+nautical+theme.+The+Oar+House+is+the+place+for+fine+dining+and+Caribbean+cocktails.+The+daily+activity+board+lists+tours+and+excursions+to+help+you+see+Belize+from+the+reef+to+the+rainforest. AFTER:
Now, when I submit the preview form, the space between paragraphs is doubled. And if I use a modify form, the space is again doubled. Can you explain what is going on? In reply to problem with extra lines when using by belize
