HTML - avoiding new lines

meghatronic · 20 Jul 2007 at 11:25

Why when you having something like:

Code:

MKTFLILALLAIVATTATSAVRVPVPQLQPQNPSQQQPQEQVPLMQQQQQFPGQQEQFPPQQPYPHQQPFPSQQPYPQPQPFP-PQLPYPQTQ-PFPPQQPYPQPQPQYP-------QPQQPISQQQAQQQQQQQQ-------TLQQILQQQLIPCRDVVLQQHNIAHASSQVLQQSSYQQLQQLCCQQLFQIPEQSRCQAIHNVVHAIILHHH-------------------------QQQQQQPSSQVSYQQPQEQYPSGQVSFQSSQQNPQAQGSVQPQQLPQFQEIRNLALQTLPAMCNVYIPPYCSTTIAPFGIFGTN

Does HTML break it up onto multiple lines?

And is there a way to avoid this?

Why don't you try it? :confused:

Well it does, even when using <pre>

Have you tried using CSS?

Code:

white-space: nowrap;

or non-breakable spaces instead of standard spaces:

Okay, no point for a new thread.

I have the same line:

Code:

MASINRPIVFFTVCLFLLCNGSLAQQLLGQSTSQWQSSRRGSPRECRFDRLQAFEPIRSVRSQAGTTEFFDVSNEQFQCTGVSVVRRVIEPRGLLLPHYTNGASLVYIIQGRGITGPTFPGCPESY----------------------------------QQQFQQSGQAQLTESQSQSQKFKDEHQKIHRFRQGDVIALPAGVAHWCYNDGEVPVVAIYVTDLNNGANQLDPRQRDFLLAGNKRN---PQAYRREVEERS-QNIFSGFSTELLSEALGVSGQVARQLQCQNDQRGEIVRVEHGLSLLQP----------------------------------YASLQEQEQGQVQSRERYQEGQYQQSQYGSGCSNGLDETFCTLRVRQNIDNPNRADTYNPRAGRVTNLNTQNFPILSLVQMSAVKVNLYQNALLSPFWNINAHSVVYITQGRARVQVVNNNGKTVFNGELRRGQLLIIPQHYAVVKKA-QREGCAYIAFKTNPNSMVSHIAGKSSIFRALPNDVLANAYRISREEAQRLKHNRGDEFGAFTPIQYKSYQDVYNAAESS*

And using php I'd like to identify all repeating -'s and store:
1) position of first - in group
2) position of last - in group
3) therefore string length of group.

E.g. first group would have values:

start 126
end 160
width 34

Naturally start and width can be deduced by:

Code:

$start = strpos(trim($seqrow['seq']), "-");
$width = substr_count(trim($seqrow['seq']), '-', $start, $end-$start);

But I'm completely stumped for $end.... as it isn't the last '-' in the string.. only the last in the substring.

Code:

$end = strrpos($substring, '-');

That will give me the last in the string though, not the substring...

string: "abcd-----efghi---jk....."

It would give me the position of j-1, not e-1.

why do you think I labeled it $substring, not $string?

How would I determine the substring, though, and still preserve the character numbers?

Dj_Jestar · 20 Jul 2007 at 17:25

Code:

$substrings = preg_split('/-+/', $string);

foreach ($substrings as $substring) {
    echo "Len of $substring is: " . strlen($substring);
}

nm.

Can't be bothered anymore.

Cheers for your help.
