UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? file formatting

i uploaded a buncha php files at work today, and now that i check them at home, i notice their formatting is all screwed up. instead of appearing in the nice, clean way, its a big jumbled mess.

this:
[]
info $Board_q = addslashes($Board); $query = " SELECT Bo_Title,Bo_Last,Bo_Read_Perm,Bo_Write_Perm,Bo_Moderated,Bo_Cat,Bo_CatName,Bo_ThreadAge,Bo_Reply_Perm,Bo_HTML,Bo_Markup,Bo_SpecialHeader,Bo_StyleSheet,Bo_Number,Bo_Threads FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Boards WHERE Bo_Keyword = '$Board_q' AND Bo_Active = '1' $groupquery "; $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__); $rows = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth); list($Title,$Last,$CanRead,$CanWrite,$Moderated,$C,$CatName,$ThreadAge,$CanReply,$HTML,$Markup,$fheader,$fstyle,$bonumber,$totaltopics) = $rows; $dbh -> finish_sth($rows); if (!$Title) { $html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BAD_GROUP'],$Cat); } // If this is a visit to a new forum then we need // to track any preferences for this forum $updatemyprefs = 0; if ((!isset($myprefs['Board'])) || ($myprefs['Board'] != $Board)) { $myprefs['Board'] = $Board; $myprefs['age'] = $ThreadAge; $myprefs['sort'] = 5; $myprefs['view'] = $view; $updatemyprefs = 1; } else { if (($o) && ($myprefs['age'] != $o)) { $myprefs['age'] = $o; $updatemyprefs = 1; } if
[/]

instead of this:
[]
<tr><td class="paddingtop paddingbottom autorow colored-row" valign="top">
<span class="autorow-title">
<label class="radio" for="maxgraemlins">
{$ubbt_lang['MAX_GRAEMLIN']}</label><br />
</span>
<span class="autorow-description">
{$ubbt_lang['MAX_GRAEMLIN_1']}
</span>
</td><td class="paddingtop paddingbottom autorow colored-row" valign="top">
<input type="text" name="maxgraemlins" value="{$config['maxgraemlins']}" size="5" id="maxgraemlins" />
</td></tr>
[/]

i'm using word pad (not note pad) to view the files. any idea how to fix'em?

happens to me too. If the file you are looking at and copying and pasting is online, thenyou have to save it to the desktop before you copy and paste. If you still have the original file you can just save it to desktop and then copy it from there and paste away.

it also happens to some mods that are posted here. If you click the attachment and it brings up the page, you have to save it first. otherwise you get the mess...

heya doc...

its not an actual mod file i'm talking about, in this case. its, for example, my ubbt.inc.php file.

i modded it a few times, and everything always looked fine. then, recently, i downloaded a copy from my server, just to make sure i had the most recent version. and, when i went to edit it, it was all strung together in the above fashion.

is it possible to reformat it (other than manually)?

look for a file called dos2unix thats the issue.. unix formats differently than dos..

cool, will do

thanks
