Why do you claim so? Text mode is *documented* to use any of CR, CRLF or LF as the line delimiter. Please don't keep telling us R `should not' do things that are fully intentional and documented. > I need to read in this file (PDF file) and create a list of lines defined by > the "\10" delimiter. > Any suggestions how I could use ReadBin to do that? R is not really set up to deal with bytes in binary files (and a PDF file *is* a binary file). You can however just read in the whole file and split it using strsplit, for example. > >Not a strange feature, but the documented behaviour (and useful, too). > >You have opened the file in text mode.
