You could try
if right(textInputStream.Readall,1) = EndOfLine then
If you exercise total control ofver the origbinal files creation
though, your best bet is to make sure it goes out with an EndOfLine
character appended to it.

Hi,
I'm running into a basic problem keeping track of carriage returns
in a tab delimited text file.
I am writing a very simple file structure by taking the entries of
a dictionary, loading them into a string, then writing them line by
line.
dim t as textoutputstream
dim f as folderitem
dim s as string
t=f.appendtotextfile
s= dict.value(dict.key(1)) + chr(9) + dict.value(dict.key(2)) + chr
(9) + dict.value(dict.key(3))
t.writeline s
The resulting file opens properly in Excel, however if it is edited
(rows inserted or deleted, cell values modified) the next
"appendtotextfile" will usually write an extension to the last line
of the spreadsheet instead of starting a new line. Subsequent lines
write properly.
Is there a simple way to test if the last character of the existing
file is a line break?
thanks
Rob
