in thread Notepad: I'm seeing squares.

I viewed the file and the double squares do equate to 0D0A. That's what it's supposed to be right?

    Yes. x'0D0A' is valid DOS carriage control. But notepad shouldn't be putting up boxes for it. Any chance you can post your text file somewhere so others can test it? Or, maybe you can reproduce the problem w/ non-sensitive data.

      No. I see the squares in the hex viewer too. Is that normal? It does interpret them as x0d0a, but they are squares, nonetheless.
