Hi,
I tried to find this, but couldn't. In http://software-lab.de/doc/refL.html#line, it is said that "End of line is recognized as linefeed (hex "0A"), carriage return (hex "0D"), or the combination of both." But sometimes, at least in other text processing languages (eg awk), it's very convenient to have a different character as the marker for end of line. Did I miss something in the reference or is it not possible to assume a different character from those ones as eol? Luis PS. A beginner trying to read a xml text file and to do something useful with it. -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
