Problem with the newline characters

[thendal]

I have a form where users enters the data and collected in a textfile and I have to output the particular data according to the user requests.

My problem is

Iam saving in the text file like

DATA1|DATA1|DATA FROM THE TEXTAREA

when a newline is entered with the data in the textarea field my data get stored like this

DATA2|DATA2|DATA FROM
the textarea

how to get away this problem.

first lose any \n character on the end of the line

chomp;

and then delete any embedded \n chars like this, I think

s/\n//gs;
