but it might work some of the time,
in some programs.

As I mentioned, typically windows programs expect a
CR/LF sequence as an end of line marker.
CR = ascii value 13 or as an escape sequence \13

The text method writestring, simply outputs what you tell it,
and does not try to add a cr/lf combination.
So, your code is adding the CR, but not the LF.

This might work in some programs,
but it is not typical for windows apps would typically expect.

ts.WriteString(tc."L7","\13",tc."L6","\13",tc."L5" ,"\13",tc."L4","\13",
Every time you are putting a \13, I would put a \13\10,
or actually, to be cleaner, I would just call the writeLine method.

ts.writeLine(tc.L7)
ts.writeLine(tc.L6)
ts.writeLine(tc.L5)
ts.writeLine(tc.L4)
ts.writeLine(tc.L3)
ts.writeLine(tc.L2)

The write line method will automatically append the CR/LF sequence to the
end of the string,
which then makes it a line.


By that I meant,
open up your file with a textstream variable

ts.open(stFilename)
ts.readchar(stChar)
and then test each character of the file for its ansicode

rather than insisting that the format be proper.

Unix files simply have the LF character,
ascii value of 10, as the end of line marker.


Hope this helps
