Hello all,
As in this topic already discussed: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/crlf-strangeness.58632/#content
Linux only supports the LF, so in B4X, when you export a string with File.WriteString, you will export the string with only LF's at the end.
Now, you could use notepad++, instead of notepad of windows, as it doesn't support only LF's.
In standard notepad, you won't get a list.
The problem is that sometimes regular users (not aware of notepad++) will open your file with notepad, so it must be compatible.
As a workaround for this, here a simple code snippet to replace the LF's to CRLF's.
The TXTLIST.text as a textarea is to be saved.
I was wrong, look at the code of Erel.

B4X:
Dim txtAsBytes() As Byte = TXTLIST.Text.GetBytes("UTF8")
Dim bb As B4XBytesBuilder
bb.Initialize
For Each b As Byte In txtAsBytes
'If we see a LF line feed
If b = 0x0A Then
'add a CR to the LF to get a CRLF
bb.Append(Array As Byte(0x0D))
bb.Append(Array As Byte(0x0A))
Else
'all the other bytes, just copy them
bb.Append(Array As Byte(b))
End If
Next[/S]
'Write the bytes to file.
File.WriteBytes("",SelectedPad,bb.ToArray)I was wrong, look at the code of Erel.
