too long

I am trying to ready some text from a file and for some reason there is always: '
' character that is added add the end of every line. The charset of the file is ASCII so I looked up ascii code and all and thsi code is not htere.

When I search on google for '
' it searches for empty....I am guessing that this code means something but I can't even google it....

UPDATE: I can't edit the file to remove them because user updates them. As it is in the file, I don't see these charcters. But when I try to the read value to a variable it returns false because there is i the &13 code. Here is when I check the response of the code: 'Notes :'

And when I check the output: 'Notes:'

The way I figured out for these extra characters is because my return array had a length of 1 more than the string I was trying to compare with. Is there any way I can remove the code?

I tried teh str_replace() without any succes.

Thanks for your help, Ara

It's a carriage return () used in DOS files

use & instead of & alone.

After I figured out what hte code means, it was easier for me to google it.

To read the code without these, I use the trim() function.

Thanks all for answering.
