% crowd in the first place... I do the following:
% 
%     $foo = "I don't like\nnewlines";
% 
%     $foo = str_replace( "\n", '<br />', $foo );
% 
% That one work for you? It's more efficient too.

Actually, no.  I thought about listing all of the things I had tried (and
ereg_replace wasn't one of 'em) in my post but didn't want to clutter
things up.  I've tried str_replace, preg_replace, and now ereg_replace,
and have tried working on the function extraction of the data directly as
well as the $fin and $fout separation.  I always have the newline left
behind.

I'm a [rusty] perl guy, and so I keep wanting to know what's the magic
variable in PHP to set to make it eat entire paragraphs, like $/ or such
in perl (there's where the rusty part comes in!).  If these functions are
just operating on a single line then the newline(s) won't get eaten.

Thanks & HAND
