Stripping control M character (^M)

[Paul Nowosielski <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I'm having some issues with carriage returns. Specifically the control M
character (^M). I have attempted to clean and validate the file I'm
creating. Here's the code.

 while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

    // assign and clean vars
    $artist = trim($row[artist]);
    $tdDate = trim($row[start_date]);
    $venue = trim($row[venue]);
    $city = trim($row[CITY]);
    $state = trim($row[STATE]);
    $country = trim($row[COUNTRY]);
    $tdId = trim($row[td_id]);

    // create string

    $line = "$artist|||$tdDate||$venue|$city|$state|$country|$tdId\n";

    // validate the string

   if(preg_match("/.*.|||.*.||.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.|.*.n\//", $line)){
       // record is correct so write line to file
       fwrite($handle,$line);
   }




}


So ^M slips right by trim and my preg_match line.

Any ideas??

TIA
