text of a field member to file --> ugly characters instead of RETURN

[Christian Grass]

Hello,

I have stored text within a field member. The text is line by line, that
is to say after each line a RETURN.
When writing this into a textfile, it results in ugly squares instead of
RETURNs and all is in one line.

How can I get rid of this and make it look properly? I use Director 8.5
and the FileIO Xtra.

Thank you in advance!

And probably Windows, not Mac.

replace
RETURN
by
numToChar(13) & numToChar(10)
(or inverse order, can't remember right now) just before writing your text
to the file : windows txt file format expects CR+ LFas line ends, and not
only CR

thank you!

replacing simply the RETURNs by "numToChar(13) & numToChar(10)" works!!!
