How to make a Linefeed at a written Text File? - 12/01/09 08:32

Hello,

does anybody know how to write a linefeed (new line) with file_str_write into a text file? "\n" does not work and file_asc_write(fhandle,10) does not work either. There just appears a rectangle, I think that represents non interpretable text. All written data is always stored one after the other, that is badly readable.

Thanks
Henning

Did you open the text file through notepad.exe.. If yes then I think that's normal that you just can see a rectangle for which I don't know what the reason is. I've tried that also, try to download notepad++ and there you can see the exact contents of the file.

Indeed "\n" works but it's just that notepad.exe can't interpret it perhaps..

"\n" is just enough to write a linefeed..

Hope that helps..

file_asc_write(fhandle,10) lf
file_asc_write(fhandle,13) cr

(maybe 13->10)

bit of a hack, but what i used to do is simply:

Code:

var filehandle = file_open_write ("myfile.txt");
file_str_write(filehandle,"
"); // Yes, this is indeed on a new line...
file_close (filehandle);

simple as that

hahahaaa

Hi,
thank you all, simple solution, seecah is right, you do not see it with notepad, with Wordpad or Word, you see it.

Thanx
