Hi,
I'm using PHP 5. I want to search for all instances of the "\n"
character in my $contents variable and replace it with "\r\n".
However, I do not want to replace the "\n" if the character
immediately before is already a "\r". How would I construct such a
search and replace to do this?
Thanks, - Dave

One or more of these may work, determining which is best for your
application is up to you, they are all variations on a theme.
$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r","",$contents);
$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r\n","\n",$contents);
$contents = preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("\r+\n","\n",$contents);
$contents =
preg_replace("\n","\r\n",preg_replace("(\r+\n+)+","\n",$contents);

Huh? Why did you say that? It seemed perfectly reasonable to me! You
don't have any "\r" all by itself in the string, so replacing all "\r\n"
gets rid of all "\r". Then converting all the "\n" to "\r\n" results in
what the OP was asking for. Of course, it is just as easy to first
convert all the "\r" to "", but what he presented made sense.
Why do you think this is "dumb" -- or is it just more of your "thing"
against Richard?

I must say I agree and it's what I've done in the exact same situation.
Personally I hate regexps as being essentially write-only programming.
I'm not interested in wracking my brains to create something "cooler"
than the solution offered above, merely so that 5 minutes later I can't
understand it any longer.
Someone had a .sig about Dijkstra (sp?) saying KISS and IMO this is an
example of where it applies.

Works great. I agree - it's a good solution to the ops requirements.

Once again, Evan Platt showing off what an ignorant stalking, troll he is.
To explain it to your halfwit clueless brain, the first replace ensures
that when the second replace happens, that the condition will be met and
there will be no extraneous unwanted replacements like "\r\r\n".

He mouthed off to me simply to be mouthing off. It makes no difference if I
am right or wrong. "It is the nature of the beast!".

ROTFLOL, what a ignorant bastard you are bullis.
Every day you prove how ignorant you are, and don't even have the
balls to admit when you made a mistake.
Just recently you said no cell phone has an ALT key. You were shown a
number of examples. You failed to even respond.
You claimed a victim is the one on trial. You were proved wrong. You
failed to even respond.
Do I even need to go on?

How many examples do you want?
"Database_name is the same as ftp_server name"
Your "passing variable to a nested array" where you were busted as a

Your best one: "As my server is using windows, .htaccess is kind of
useless for me anyway."
Care to explain any of those, fully clueless idiot troll?

Well, it didn't work for me, so if it works for someone else, more
power to them.
You're still a idiot troll.

Sorry, Evan, you've just proven you are ignorant and a troll. You
aren't even intelligent enough to understand when he's right.
It doesn't matter whether he's been right or wrong before. He's right
this time, and you failed to recognize it.
We now know you for EXACTLY what you are. Go find some other group to
haunt, troll. You have ZERO credibility here - which is even less than
Richard has!

What part of "Well, it didn't work for me, so if it works for someone

LOL.. Right. You and richard should get a room together. You'd make a
cute couple. He may have some space in his RV for you.

It obviously didn't work for you because either you didn't try it or
you're too stoopid to understand the code.

Evan, you aren't even intelligent enough to get a room with Richard.
Maybe he will give you a place underneath his RV - although I suspect
you're too dumb to even get that.
We now know you for the troll you are. You now have ZERO credibility in
this newsgroup - as you do in so many others.
How does it feel to be even less respected than Richard? Because that's
what you are here.

From one person? Oh.
My feeling are hurt.
From someone who has a company that uses a attglobal.net address, none

My feelings are really hurt.

Interesting, considering the google results for Jerry Stuckle reveal

Yep, and virtually none of it is true - just attempts by trolls like you
to slander me. It hasn't worked - those trolls are gone and their
websites taken over by squatters, but I'm still here.
But that's OK, "Evan" - you have just as much credibility as those
trolls had.

You doubt you're the computer expert?
Guess you're right.
If you really were the computer expert, it would take you all of 10
minutes to find out it's my real name. I've got nothing to hide.

You're the only one here less respected than Richard, troll. Everyone
else here sees you for exactly what you are.

It really doesn't matter. I don't give a damn if it's your real name or
not - you're not worth the time or effort to find out. Weinies like you
never are.

No, you're just too stoopid to realize it.

Richard's basic approach is fundamentally correct. It doesn't take all
possibilities into account, for example if the input data may have \r\n
or \n, it might also have \r without \n, and the OP needs to consider
how to handle those cases, and also whether he wants to trim multiple
\r\n combinations to a single \r\n.
eg replace any sequence of one or more of either \r or \n or a mix of
the two with a single \r\n
$contents = preg_replace("/[\r\n]+/","\r\n",$contents);
How the OP adopts it to match his requirement is up to the OP, there's
other solutions that have been posted (and yes I know I missed regex
delims off of mine), but basically, this time, richard was right, you
were wrong to dismiss his solution without even considering it, and
you're making yourself look more of a dickhead than richard usually
appears to be.
That's actually a pretty impressive feat.

Not only is it his real name, he has a website (if you can call it that)
using his initials. www.espphotography.com
He also has a vanity ham radio license with his initials. Which is how I
found out where he lives.
The only reason he posts in usenet now is to harass me.
Rarely does he post anything original.

It's OK, I also found out your brother is married to a crazy lady who
has 12 cats. So no matter how bad I ever think my life is, it can't be
as bad as yours.

You're the stalker. As your ham radio license has your home address on it,
that is public information. Just like the phone book.

Wow really? I think she'd like to know she has 12 cats.
So you tend to think that any one with 12 cats is therefore crazy?

Not in a few days it won't. They had hidden it, I just renewed, so it

You're the one who's such a chicken shit pussy that he has no problem
posting other people's address yet is too afraid to say where he
lives.
Oh wait, you live in an RV.

If it didn't work for you, clearly you implemented it wrong. Or, as seems more
likely, you didn't actually try it at all.
Here's a formal proof that Richard's method is correct:
Let A be the string <a>\r\n<b>, and B the string <c>\n<d>,where <a>, <b>, <c>,
and <d> are any arbitrary strings not containing "\n". The first operation,
replace all "\r\n" with "\n", changes A to <a>\n<b> and leaves B untouched.
The second operation, replace all "\n" with "\r\n", changes A to <a>\r\n<b>,
and B to <c>\r\n<d>, which is the specified result: change \n to \r\n except
when \n is immediately preceded with \r.
If you would dispute that proof, demonstrate the flaw in it, or post a
counterexample. Otherwise, you owe Richard an apology.
Time to man up, Evan.

This is the problem with personal vendettas on technical forums. All it
becomes is a series of name calling and TOTALLY doesn't look at any
technical content. This was a perfect example.
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE BE HUMAN AND CIVIL? Instead, we see a bunch of
children. Next thing you know they will all be talking about the nasty

Indeed. simple problems like this, it's easy to construct state machines
for, and examine every possible combination, and produce totally
reliable bug free code. Sadly such examples are few and far between.
As someone else pointed out tho, what about a single '\r'?
Whether you implement the sate machine in a regexp, simple replacement
with string functions, or write a straight copying loop that examines
characters and pairs of characters and makes instant decisions on the
basis of comparison, is down to taste.
In terms of CPU time, its a one pass loop if you do teh latter, and ver
efficient.
Regexps are the least efficient and the most impenetrable, but they make
people feel smart, so they have their place. They hark back to the days
of teletypes and paper tapes, when code terseness was overwhelmingly
important, and all coding was done and checked on a bit of paper with a
pencil, before being laboriously entered onto The Computer. There being
only one, and far too few teletypes or time allowed on it for more than
one crack.

Golly, is Stuckle on the rampage again?
He is the worst troll, because many people do not realise that is what
he actually is.
His lack of real knowledge is only surpassed by his flagrant attacks on
those who have repeatedly shown him up.
I think I topped the list before I kill filed him, and he has, it seems,
not forgotten it.

You know, this all seems rather academic. Getting back to the OP's
request, I have to ask "in what kind of string/file will one have both
\r and \r\n ?". ISTM that you will always have one or the other -- at
least in all strings/files that I have encountered thus far.

Why do you need a state machine? That's like pounding a nail with a
