I have a text file that I am trying to display on a web page. If I cat
or more the file it formats and displays fine. When it comes up in the
browser it seems to loose tabs and the format gets messed up. This is
how I display the file.
$show = file("./fields/combined/$cdp$store");
$arrayitems = sizeof($show);
$x=0;
while ($x < $arrayitems) {
print("$show[$x]\n");
$x++;
}
If I edit the file it has ^M at the end of each line if it matters.
Does anyone have a better idea as to how to display it?

<?php
echo "<pre>\n";
@readfile("./fields/combined/$cdp$store");
echo "</pre>\n";
?>

A browser ignores newlines in the source when rendering HTML.
To get a new line, you can use <BR>.
About the tabs, browsers ignore them too.
You could output table rows for each line in the file
and put what's between two tabs in a table cell.
Then the <BR> is not necessary anymore also :-)

Sorry ... If the file is a free-format text file and not
a file with fields separated by tabs, then Ian's suggestion
is much better :-)

Actually I don't see any message from Ian about this.
The file is more like a free form document. What about the idea of
maybe trying to read the file and convert Tabs to spaces before I
display it. Does that sound possible? It would take a couple second
longer to display but at least it would look right? I think?
well , you can use <pre> tag to keep your format , like this: $show = file("./fields/combined/$cdp$store");
$arrayitems = sizeof($show);
$x=0;
print("<pre>");
while ($x < $arrayitems) { print("$show[$x]\n");
$x++;
}
print("</pre>");

I guess my post arrived at your news server before Ian's post did.
Perhaps you can see Ian's post now ? Anyway, he was talking about
using the <pre>pre-formatted text</pre> trick to let the browser
display the pre-formatted text. That'll work too and is a lot easier.
Converting tabs to spaces could work also, but then you have to
choose the correct number of spaces to replace the tabs and you
will probably want to use a non-proportional font like Courier.

Hi there, a while ago, I posted a question regarding reading japanese
text from a text file.
Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for
the benefit of other people with the same problem.
The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I
will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese
language study script.

Is there any sample code to use Javascript to load and display a text

It will be best if the user can select files using some kind of

be fine as well. Once a text file is selected, I just need to display
it in a text box.
Thanks for the help.
