I get confused. Is a return in a DOS text file \012\015 or \015\012? T.R. Fullhart, kayos@kayos.org

    I use a little mnemonic device to remember this: "DOS is DOA". Well, actually, 0D0A, which converted to octal, is obviously \015\012.

    I use another mnemonic for \r\n. Because \n\r is not right :-)

      Actually, DOShacker was my old handle but the connotation has changed quite a bit.
      Of course this was before I discovered 'NIX.
