Converting \n to CrLf??

[geogal]

Hi Everyone,

I have a page that allows users to download a .txt file of a database query result. This file, in turn, is being placed into ACT! for desktop storage by the client.

The programmer that is conforming the ACT! portion has asked me to change the \n characters with something called 0D 0A (CrLf) characters. Does anyone know what this means? I can see in the downloaded file a little rectangular icon, showing the end of each record. How is that different from a CrLf?

Any help on shedding some light on this is appreciated!

If you are creating the .txt file using PHP, put \r\n at the end of each line not just \n.

Use \r\n instead of \n

Unix uses \n to signify a newline but windoze can't seem to manage without a carriage return (\r) and a linefeed (\n)

Ah, thank you so much. I knew it had to do something with windows/unix translations.

Thanks for clearing it up!!!
