Notepad LF / CR display

[beuvema]

When editing text files with notepad, I get a very confusing display because linefeeds (LF) and "Carriage Returns (CR)" are displayed faulty.


Anyone with a clue

maybe your editing unix text files?

These files use for the line end only line feed while M$ uses always linfeed plus Carriage return i. e. $0a $0d. View the file in lister and press [3] to view in hex-mode. Are there at the end of the line the values $0d $0a ?

If not you can open the file in the editor from DOS prompt and without changing anything save it. the appropriate CR/LF are set.

When using Lister the file is displayed properly.

At the end of every line I see "0A" "20" "2A" "20" everytime.

Edit in DOS works indeed!!!

So the Carriage return is missing. And after edit in DOS once the missed CR should be added so you could use notepad then.

Are files submitted this way on purpose?

Are files subitted this way on purpose?

Don't know what subit means. But if you open the files in DOS Editor and save them DOS editor adds before the linefeed ($0A) a Carriage return ($0D).

At least in my testfile it happened like this. You may try it as described above: Open one of these files in DOS editor, choose 'save file' and close without editing. Afterwards try to open in notepad.
On my PC after that the missing Cariiage Returns were inserted.
