Re: Windows and UNIX end of line characters

in reply to Windows and UNIX end of line characters

I think you're looking for an incorrect ASCII code. According to the ASCII table, you'll want to be looking for ASCII 13 (carriage return) and ASCII 10 (line feed).

Two quick questions:

Are you sure that the file is in DOS format and not *nix format?
Did you see any ASCII 13 characters in your output?

If the answer is yes to both, then I think your code is working fine.

I am not absolutely sorue about the format. I simply used a text editor and write some lines. I definietley did not see any ASCII 13 being shown.	[reply]

Now I used binmode I saw both 10 and 13 for an MSDOS file. Therefore you are quite correct about my searching for the worng things!	[reply]
