TextEdit on Mac OS X does support/do unix newlines. SimpleText, and the other Classic text editors do not. I just checked, to be sure, and created a file in TextEdit, saved it, then opened it in vi. No ^M...so it is using newlines.
I think you need to do a little testing. There may be a setting somehwere, where you've chosen the old style carriage returns for your text delimiters, and perhaps some apps, or other machines have a real problem with that. Also, on the command line, if you need to convert a file: #returns to newlines cat file.txt | tr "\r" "\n" > fileWithNewLines.txt #linefeeds to newlines cat file.txt | tr "\l" "\n" > fileWithNewLines.txt -Lars -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
