Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: Character looking like a square in database

widexl Novice Aug 15, 2001, 12:17 PM Post #1 of 5 (308 views) Character looking like a square in database Can't Post Hello there I have a character in my database looking like a square in the windows wordpad. It is a break but not the normal break ( \n ). Now someone what this for a break is.

I think it equates to a CTRL-M character. If you chomp the data value, it should eliminate it before you send it to your database.
