Re: Making Text Files for Unix
1.- Best : You can use the mc chartonum() function to check the differences
betwin the MacOS and Linux chars tables and than parse the needed file with
the
"replace numtochar(xx) with numtochar(yy) in varzz".
Well we are already processing out all the Mac only chars like curly quotes,
m-dashes ("") and other "off the charts" Mac characters, before shipping
the file to the web host servers. I think the non-Unix compatible text file
issue has to do with line breaks being mandatory in UNIX?
You are right. Try "#10;" for the html unix format.
Or let MetaCard do the work for you: put the text into a hidden field, then
get the htmlText of that field.

Re: Making Text Files for Unix
Sivakatirswami a crit : Our html files are created on MACs using an xTalk engine (soon to be completely MC based) but end up living the entire life after creation on a UNIX/Linux server. . .my sysop for the archive server has trouble when we ask to search and replace a string over many files and directories because for some reason our Mac files are "just one long sentence!" He says "they don't follow UNIX text file conventions" Now, does anyone know how I can process such a file so that it DOES follow Unix conventions?
