Hi All,

From my C++ application I was generating a report and
have "\n" for having new lines in to the report. When I
make a txt file of this report, I used to get the new
lines properly when I view the report in the notepad.
After I have installed SP3 of Win2000, I start seeing a
square in place of newline when I open the txt file in the
notepad, but I don't see these squares when I open the
file in Wordpad. Is there any thing done like this in the
SP3 of Win2000?

Please reply to this query
Thanks
Nagesh.

Rather than using notepad or wordpad to investigate
this issue, you should use a binary lister. The good
old list.com is an example, or debug.exe if you do
not have anything else. Under Microsoft OSs, each
line in a text file is terminated by one CR plus one
LF (or $0d + $0a in hex). What do you see?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have used a binary lister and
noticed that when I have the Win2000 SP2 in place I see a
CR and LF (0D 0A) at the end of the line and when I have
SP3, I see a 0A 0A. I see this difference for the same
piece of code where I have used "\n\n".

It seems notepad.exe is doing the right thing - it tells you
that you do not have CRLFs at the end of your line. The
issue is with your code, and how "\n\n" is compiled
under SP3. I recommend you repost your item in a
newsgroup that focuses on the compiler you use.
