Another weird problem. This truely is weird.

I see what you are trying to do and I think you are going the long way around it. if all you have it data in a text file seperated by those funny looking characters, then just take them out like this

$DataFinal=explode("®¥©",$FromFile); 

// Listing the array inside a loop and echo about it. 
while (list($key,$current)=each($DataFinal)){ 
echo your stuff here.
} 

that would do the same thing you are after and it might not make ®¥© be echoed to the screen if the data was null. plus it would shorten your code.

if you don't want that then the only thing I can tell you is to check for ®¥© in the array and if found echo a space.
