using the "\n";

[perlone]

I have a text file called news.txt and it contains the following:

Testing
Testing 2

I want each line display by new line. I used the following:

open(FILE, "news.txt"
@warnings = <FILE>;
close(FILE);

foreach $warnings (@warnings) {
$warns .= &quot;$warnings\n&quot;;
}

When i run it, it shows like this:

Testing Testing 2

But i want it displays like this:

Testing
Testing 2

Any ideas?

I also tried the following but it doesn't work:
foreach $warnings (@warnings) {
$warns .= $warnings;
$warns .= &quot;\n&quot;;
}

Since you're probably displaying the result in a browser, it's ignoring the newlines. You need to put a <br> after each line:

$warns .= &quot;$warnings<br>\n&quot;;

Thanks a lot. It works really well.

You actually don't even need the \n in there at all, but it makes it easier to read if you do a View Source.
