My ascii file coming in has quotes around each comma delimited item. After reading the rows into array these quotes are gone. Can't figure out how to put them back in the array items when displaying the fields. Rows are saved to table and bad rows are displayed in browser. Hope this fits this list: ////////////////////////////////////////// //now print out the fields in one row //don't print last comma in row of fields //////////////////////////////////////////// For ($c=0; $c < $fieldcount; $c++) { if ($c==10) { $displayrows.=$fieldarray[$c]; } Else { $displayrows.=$fieldarray[$c].","; } } //end of for loop --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
