I was considering these alternatives (with preference for the first one) - line end is any unique sequence of the specified characters, so if you specify the CR and LF as candidate, then CR, LF, CR LF, and LF CR are all one single end of line, but CR CR would imply a null line between (like CR LF LF) - the first string of characters from that set is taken as the line end sequence, until eof. So when you start with a bare CR then the next CR will cause LF to be the start of a new line. Rob
