Hi All,

The caffine powered project is now nearing sign off so I was checking some thing
and looked in a save file and found the data all on one line, almost like it is not splitting the input correctly how ever the unit returns the data all on one line,
despite having \n put in however if I use a message box to display the string I wish to write to the file " Unit_Reply_Modded " all the data appear correctly spaced so I write it with

C#

sw.WriteLine(Unit_Reply_Modded);

It all appears on the one line. I have been testing this on XP the only thing that has changed is I am now using Win7 (the XP machine died), as the data is correctly formatted in the text box I am thinking if I read the string into a foreach loop and write it out with a \r\n. opions on this please (there goes my lunch hour again!)

Hi All,

Heres the solution I was away from my desk (something else "MORE" important took priority) Looks I am going to be building installers at home!!
Heres What solved the problem I did think of this as I was typing the question

C#

foreach (string subString in Unit_Reply_Modded.Split('\n'))
{
    //MessageBox.Show(subString);
    sw.WriteLine(subString);
}

I do that more often than I would like to admit.

Solution 1

if your are writing to a new file or owerwriting to existing file
use

C#

sw.Write(Unit_Reply_Modded);

insteed of

C#

sw.WriteLine(Unit_Reply_Modded);

this will help you
or at the time of reading to each line with split

C#

yourTextControl.Text.Split(new char[] { '\r' });
