\n isn't functioning correctly

[chitownclone]

I am writing data to a file using the following:

open (DATA, ">>../cgi-bin/data/marketinfo.dat");
print DATA "$variable1\~$variable2 \n";
close (DATA);

It worked just fine on my server, but when I uploaded it to my client's server the \n doesn't work.

Rather than starting a new line for each new line of data the \n is writing as a square which separates each line. So rather than a formated data file I have a file with 1 line with data lines separted by a square.

Anyone have any idea why \n isn't working??

Are you moving it to a PC from *NIX ?

... i'm not sure but try \r\n


Kind Regards

Sounds like a unix to dos translation problem.If you do a \r\n and that still leaves a block there, then just use the \r.
