ascii chars

[Silvano]

hi all,

I am using the following to write a text file:

...Settings#Chr(13)##Chr(10)##Chr(10)#UserName=admin...

the #Chr(13)##Chr(10)# gives me carriage return and line feed;
the text file looks like this:

.
.
.
Settings

UserName=admin
.
.
.

now, if the text file is opened in a note pad, edited, saved, and then reopened, the text file will look like this:

.
.
.
SettingseditedpartUserName=admin
.
.
.


basically, all line feeds and carriage returns are stripped out.

any advice as how to prevent this?

Hey Sylvano,

I think Notepad is getting confused about the extra chr(10) and possibly removing the entire sequence. On windoze, a crlf is designation by #chr(13)##chr(10)# so if you want two crlf sequences, use #chr(13)##chr(10)##chr(13)##chr(10)# instead of #chr(13)##chr(10)##chr(10)#.

I suspect Notepad considers the 13,10,10 to be an illegal syntax and just removes it all together when saving.

Hope this helps,
GJ
