hello,
I have a programming site, and wjhen a member writes any thing between [ code] and [ /code] it shows him code,,I modified this so it shows me code the way i want, but i have a little problem, some time i have to post like 100 lines of code,,so the topic page will be bad looking and some time it takes a large widh, so i want the code to be shown in a text box, i did that, but the problem in the < br> tag, it appears in the text box after each line, i tried to filter the code,, but that did not work,,so do you have any idea?? please help..

when you post the ubb changes all n s from the input box into
s. so look for a regex that does that. let me know if you want me to look for ya.

thanx alot for your reply..
now, can you give me some code,,,, please help

in ubb_lib.cgi


try commenting that out. im not sure exactly what you want it to do, but thats where it converts the returns in post msgs into
tags.

thanx
now tell me, can you tell what is the code to do the opposite thing?? i mean change the < br> into return...

well you could switch the br s into n s by doing this
$_[0] =~ s/
/n/ig;

thanx alot, now how do i define a variable? if i modified any thing in $_[0] its gonna affect the cdoe,, i want to define a varial and modify it,,got it?

my $variable = $_[0];
$variable =~ s/
/n/ig;

well, nothing worked with me :(:(:(:(

i tried every thing,,, what i want exactly is:
when the member writes any thing as code, i mean he writes something between [ code] and [ /code]..like this

if he writes code the code comes in a textbox,,not like above,,got it??
please help..
