Character Encoding

[nounourson]

Hello all,

With a loop, I write several lines in a txt file.

For each step of my loop, I'd like the lines to be one over the other, like :

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3...

But, when I use @CR or Char(13), I just have 1 line with sentences separated with a kind of empty rectangle, like

Line 1[]Line2[]Line3...

I'm pretty sure it's a problem of character encoding.

Could someone help me ?

I've read the help file, but found nothing.

Thx in advance

Are you using FileWriteLine() or FileWrite() ?

You probably want to use @CRLF for newline.

@CRLF

You're too fast guys...

Anyway, works well with @CRLF, thx a lot for such quick answers !

That was a fast answer, thanks!

I use that :

$output=$output&"Mytexte"&@CR

and at the end :

FileWrite(@SCRIPTDIR & "\Myfile.txt",$output)

I once used a manual typewriter (just for antiquity purposes). When I slammed the carriage return lever from left to right I noticed that it actually did two things.

1: It moved the carriage to the beginning on the same line.

2: Pressing the lever a little further actually moved the carriage up to the next line.

I wonder where @CRLF came from?

NB: I suspect the problem is not with your output, but what you are viewing it with. You are producing a delimiter that separates your lines and is quite valid and doubling the amount of space the delimiter uses could be somewhat wasteful on a large output file.

Exactly. A text editor like Microsoft's infamous notepad expects @CRLF line endings.
