Hello Ron,
I guess I forgot to be specific, I am actually writing the script that
generates the file. And an editor like EditPlus easily converts the
file from Unix to PC. That is how I know what needs to be done. I have
also looked at the file in WinHex to verify the differences. Now I
just need the script "pieces," that's the command/syntax, to generate the correct code to
"terminate" the line(s) correctly. Empressa is NOT doing it from a
Win2K server, or Mia on my local pc. And, using a utility to complete
the operation in the end, by end users is NOT really an option I can
consider right now.
<MvASSIGN NAME="mystring" VALUE="{mystring}">
<MvEXPORT
FILE="{My_Directory $ 'myfile.dat'}"
FIELDS="mystring"
DELIMITER="">
I would think that this code should do it. I doesn't.
<MvASSIGN NAME="myLF" VALUE="{asciichar(10)}">
<MvASSIGN NAME="mystring" VALUE="{mystring$myLF}">
<MvEXPORT
FILE="{My_Directory $ 'myfile.dat'}"
FIELDS="mystring"
DELIMITER="">
This code also doesn't work. It simply put a
in the string.
I cannot find anything in the docs for what mivascript command would
add a LF, silently, if you will. Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
Scott
