Hello again,
Ascii 10 and 13... Thanks a lot, Ron
Maybe time to explain to the list:
CR = Carriage Return (The move a printer head makes to the left)
LF = Line Feed (The feeding of one line of paper)
Both these "characters" are used to define lines in a text file, and
integrated in the "hard return" which is the result of pressing the enter-
or return key in most editors. Also used as opposed to "soft return"
meaning a line end automatically inserted by a more sophisticated text
editor (like WordPerfect), which can be un- and rewrapped automatically
when text is inserted before the line end.
Editv won't search for either of these. They just can't be inserted in the
search dialog. A alt-13, however, can be inserted in the text and gives a
complete hard return (cr+lf), but how would I imagine a CR only (That would
cause a line to be overwritten; a phenomenon that can be observed when
downloading a textfile through a modem at readable speed, if the terminal
program used allows CR to be interpreted as CR+LF or not, telix does, for
example), or a single LF that would continue at the same column, one row
lower.
Anyway: Does anyone know of a free- or shareware editor that allows the
entering of either a hard return or ASCII 10/13 in a search dialog box (and
supports macros, too)?
