How can I avoid a full blank line while reading information from a text file.
Im going to parse this text and insert the information into a database however there are some blank lines and these get me in trouble because Im parsing the text using explode and Im parsing it according to the \r\n at first.So it gets the blank lines as well.But It mustnt get.
anyone helps??

Just preprocess the text to change all instances of \r\n\r\n to \r\n.

Why not just check the line length as you go along?
[php]if (strlen($line) > 0)
{
// do stuff
}
else
{
// ignore
}[/php]
