Ah, I did not test with notepad, just with MS Word. I suggest you use Notepad++ my office installed a copy of it on my system, and it automatically checks line endings and display text correctly weather you use PC/Mac?Linux.
There is also a one line regular expression that was once posted to this list that changes \r to \mn or perhaps \r\n to do this. You could then used sed or vi to correct the line endings and even create a droplet or contextual menu to do this conversion. My guess is that the regular expression would be: s/.$/\r\n/ > On Apr 4, 2018, at 3:25 PM, E.T. <ancient.ali...@icloud.com> wrote: > > Jonathan, > I will need to look at this again as it did not work for me.
