what are UNIX end of line characters?

I have a simple log file generated by a unix machine

I want to do something in windows/dos with it, but can't though

I am presuming it has either something to do with EOF or the new line characters

any one help me??

I know in windows the new line char is : Chr(10,13) line feed charriage return

and EOF is chr(26) .. is it the same in UNIX?

DOS/Windows is CR LN, or 0x0d 0x0a, or Chr(13,10)

Unix has just got the Linefeed (0x0a).

Pull the log into a decent editor, I use Ultraedit. Should work fine. A good editor will also have the ability to convert it to DOS/Unix.

Textpad has something similar in it and allows you to save for Unix/OS2/Winxx etc. Is a free download at downloads.com I think.

well this is my problem

when I am reading in the log file from a EXE, I attempt to read line by line, but instead it reads the whole file.

if I go into DOS edit .. and if I press enter then back (as in create new line then erase it), and save the program works fine

I am only assuming it's got to do with EOF or New line etc

ok fixed problem .. anywhere I seen CHR$(10) I added CHR(13)

worked fine

It will come up as MSDos editor
drag/drop into the send to folder in startup

now you can right click on the file and view it... (maybe)

(must post the fix for margins in notepad.exe - 10 bleedin years of not being able to print 80 character wide text in A4 from windows..)
