The file (i have the original) has 120 lines, after she'd reloaded it, it had about double that. Like a extra line inserted every time there was a line-return.
Hi Patrick: Thanks very much for your help.
The original file probably has inconsistent line endings. If so, this is pretty easy to fix:
I wonder what inconsistent line endings are. maybe it had them but don't know.
* bring up BBEdit's Open dialog (File -> Open) * turn off the "Translate Line Breaks" option * open the file * apply Normalize Line Endings (Text -> Normalize Line Endings) * since you'll be sharing the file between Macs and PCs, set the line ending format to "Windows (CRLF)" via the popup at the bottom center of the window
we played back and forth and finally got it "fixed", i think maybe by turning on the Windows (CRLF) bit.
do appreciate the help, it would have been "crazy making" otherwise. cheers and all the best, Donna -- Donna Jones Portland, Maine 207 772 0266 www.westendwebs.com -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
