Yep, Apple, WIndows, and Linux all use a different convention for terminating lines of text: Windows uses crlf (ascii-13 followed by ascii-10); Linux uses just lf; Apple uses just cr.
Smart editors will figure it out and convert on open (textpad for windows does this, and it is a pretty accessible editor). There is also something called edSharp for windows that'll do it, and probably others. I wonder if textEdit will convert windows and linux text files when opened; probably will. -- Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 2:39 PM Subject: text edit and windows note pad: Hi all, When I wrote a document in text edit and save it as text, if I bring it up in notepad under windows, the lines are all messed up. any way to avoide this, it happens in word with rtfs too.
