^M symbol in output

Post by penny »

Using Webinator 2.5.6 Commercial on a unix machine. The sites are reindexed in a cron job.

The results email message is typically over 4000K with much of that being a ^M character that shows up as a blank line in the email message. Comparing the emailed output with command line output, there are more ^M characters when the url takes longer to be walked.

Is there a way I can stop the ^M characters from appearing in my output, or do I need to wrap my nightly script to pull out the ^M?

Thanks,
Penny

The ^M is used to update the counts (1/1) line in place while processing a page. Using -v1 will suppress the counts but not the ^M. -v0 will suppress everything but errors.
