Re: Newline char in oracle files
Title: Newline char in oracle files Hello Beth Had the same problem after upgrading from 81600 to 81634. I downloaded textpad from the internet and it solved the problem. It is also much nicer then wordpad.

I've installed Oracle, OEM and OWB on a couple of NT 4.0 servers in the UK. The text files that Oracle generates during the install - the .config, .ora and the .ctl files from OWB - are generated using a lf as the newline character instead of a cr. The result is that in notepad they all appear as one run-on line with embedded control characters (line feeds). I have not had this problem on any of the servers in the US. I'm using the same installation media in both places. Is there UK specific media I should be using? Or is there is something in the regional settings on the servers that would determine what newline character is used? I've checked the Oracle and Microsoft support sites and even opened a tar but am still stumped, so any suggestions will be appreciated. I've tried contacting our sysadmin about it but I don't expect any response until the England/Argentina match is over :-) TIA, Beth

Re: Newline char in oracle files
I think it is not a problem of regional setting. It's the difference between UN*X versus MS platform. You can convert it to DOS format or use some better editor which can handle UN*X text files.

Title: Message Tom, Consider it done! Thanks for the advice. I hadn't tried wordpad and prefer notepad, but its definitely a step up from Word which was what I have been using.

Most of newer Oracle *.sql files have the same issue - if you use WordPad, they open fine. This bit of advice just cost you a virtual glassof Tetley Tea. Please submit ASAP! thank you!
