Unwanted newline php - TextMate

11 Dec 2009


      I'm writing a command using php that reorders a css property list by
string length. The problem I'm having is that a newline character is
being added at the beginning of the result for some reason (using
Replace selected text). I've consulted this thread
http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2007-April/019068.html but I've
found no way of echoing a string without the newline being added. Here
is the command:
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$fstat = fstat(STDIN);
$stdin = fread(STDIN, $fstat['size']);
//print_r($stdin);
$pattern = '/{(.*)}/Us';
preg_match($pattern, $stdin, $matches);
$output = trim($matches[1], "\n");
$output = preg_split('/\n/', $output);
function sort_strlength($val_1, $val_2) {
    // initialize the return value to zero
    $retVal = 0;
// compare lengths
    $firstVal = strlen($val_1);
    $secondVal = strlen($val_2);
if($firstVal > $secondVal) {
    	$retVal = 1;
    } else if($firstVal < $secondVal) {
    	$retVal = -1;
    }
    
    return $retVal;
}
uasort($output, "sort_strlength");
$out = '{' . "\n";
foreach($output as $line) {
    $out .= $line . "\n";
}	
$out .= '}';
print(trim($out));
?>
Any help would be appreciated.
