Carriage Returns/New Lines in file

[Mark Wold]

I am trying to write a file that will be read on a UNIX box. The following code always writes a CR/NL combo at the end of each line:

dim i as integer
i = freefile
open "C:\TEXT.TXT" for output as i
print #i, "Hello there, World"
close #i

I have tried the following code but end up getting byte counts at the beginning of the line:

dim i as integer
i = freefile
Open "C:\text.txt" For Binary Access Write As #i
Put #i, , "Hello there, World" & Chr(10)
Close #i


Can somebody please explain to me if this is possible or not?

Thanks,
Mark

If what you are trying to do is eliminate the CRLF after each line replacing it with a NL try thie

print #i, "Hello there, World"; vblf;


Note the ; (semi-Colon) after the vbLF. This tells VB you are not finished with the current line and do not append a crlf after it. DO this for the entire file alwaays ending your print command with the ;
