[QUOTE="remain, post: 425870, member: 23182"] I know there aren't 2 types of TXT files, one for OS X, one for Windows. I know there's only one type of TXT. However, there is one little but quite significant difference between plain text files made in the two OSs: In Windows, line breaks are \r\n In OS X, they're \n As a result, while TXT files created in Windows will display correctly in OS X, TXT files created in OS X will be missing all the line breaks when opened in Windows. (Basically, all the text is displayed on 1 line.) So does anyone know of a way to convert all the \n to \r\n in a TXT? note: I am aware of pseudo-solutions, such as using other formats instead (such as DOC), which display the line breaks correctly in both OSs, but still, I'd rather be able to use TXT files between the 2 OSs.
