    Then get a proper editor that can deal with it, like Notepad++.

    Who's still using CRLF?

    @Krokoklemme I do, given that I don't know the difference between CRLF and LF

    @nothappy CRLF = carriage return + line feed (i.e \r\n)
    LF = line feed (just \n)

    @620hun and yet, I've never had an issue with only using LF

    idk if that's just a case of "works on my machine", but i never had to use CRLF, not even on Windows. The only program i can think of that doesn't handle only LF as a line separator is notepad (and even that is changing now)

    @Krokoklemme in my experience, it really is just notepad. problem is: just about everyone non technical doesn't realize that notepad is not the only text editor.

    "open a text editor."
    "a what? ... that thing? that's notepad. why don't you just say notepad then!"

    gahhhhhh!

    CRLF is still the "standard" line separator of text-based Internet protocols Like HTTP/IRC IIRC though most servers will accept both.
