Well Klaus I tried it .. sadly no joy.
Lets see if I did it the way you would have:
buf = s.body(id)[3]
# indexes 0 .. 2 contain disjoint portions but the big part is in
# [3] so .. i only did it for 3 for simplification
bufHeal = []
for aline in buf:
bufHeal.append(aline.replace('\r\n', '\n'))
fn = "c:/boing.xml"
fh = open(fn.'w')
for aline in bufHeal:
fh.write(aline)
fh.close()
This is giving me a file with no line breaks .. in fact
when I look at the elements in buf .. they don't have \r\n or \n at the
end of them .. I think the s.body(id,afile) .. does a variety of magic
to the contents of the buffer .. along with applying "some
magic template directive like an xsd file" again just guessing here.
