I need some help understanding where extra '\r' come from when
output is redirected to file on Windows.
First, this works correctly:
rdmd --eval="(\"hello\" ~ newline).toFile(\"out.txt\");"
As expected, out.txt contains "hello\r\n".
I would expect the following to do the same, but it doesn't:
rdmd --eval="write(\"hello\" ~ newline);" > out.txt
Now out.txt contains "hello\r\r\n".
Who is doing the extra conversion here, and how do I stop it?
Thanks!
Bastiaan.
That would be cmd. Not sure you can stop it without piping it
after rdmd to remove the \r.
Thanks. It is starting to dawn on me that I shouldn't use
`newline` and `toFile` to write text files, but rather always use
"\n" as line ending and use `write` for both writing to stdout
and file.
rdmd --eval="File(\"out.txt\", \"w\").write(\"hello\n\");"
and
rdmd --eval="write(\"hello\n\");" > out.txt
both produce "hello\r\n" on Windows.
Am I correct, or is there a more idiomatic way of writing strings
to text files?
