Looping through records in a file, read file loop?

Therefore, I'm having problems reading the file and displaying the output. Does anyone know how to either remove the formatting before the data is written, or loop through the file while doing a read and skipping every other line? I have the text area on the form to send the formatted word wrap to the cgi because I need line breaks when the text is displayed

It sounds like you're getting extra invisible line breaks in your string. chomp all the extra newlines and stuff off, and then add just your delimiting line break at the end: CODE $textString = chomp($inputString); $textString .= "\n";
