Notpad has an odd relationship to line-feeds and carriage returns -- at least in my experience... If I copy something from notepad to paste into an html textarea, then the pasted text contains all sorts of hard returns where it shouldn't. It's similarly unable to understand the carriage returns inserted into documents on Macs, so when you open those you get one big mass of text with no returns at all. I was really frustrated when I commented to Sean Corfield that a readme for something he distributed was all horqued up, only to have someone else point out to me that Wordpad would read it properly. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 617.365.5732 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306538 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
