ET,

In notepad++ there is a item in the editing menu for changing line endings. It 
looks like the Latin / Win encoding used “Unix”  style line endings. Windows 
expects the line to end with both a carriage return and a new line character. 
Which is not terribly surprising since DEC Operating Systems in the 1980’s also 
used both characters, and the idea to use “/“ to indicate the start of an 
option shows up in TOPS-10, VMS and the Operating System for the PDP=11 if I 
remember correctly.

My guess is that the regular expression would be:

Re: TextEdit and Windows

2018-04-04 Thread E.T. 

Jonathan,
   My thinking is that most people will probably use the default 
applications so if I were to share a document created with TextEdit with 
a Windows user, it will not display correctly.


   I did some digging and think the reason Notepad fails here is 
because it does not support the Western encoding. It does support UTF-8 
so I may experiment with the two apps.


   I did install Notepad++ just to see what it's like.

Re: TextEdit and Windows

2018-04-04 Thread Jonathan Cohn 
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/

Re: TextEdit and Windows

2018-04-04 Thread E.T. 

Jonathan,
   I will need to look at this again as it did not work for me. Maybe I 
am not understanding the issue. I set the encoding to Western (DOS Latin 
1) in TextEdit preferences, Open and Save.


   In TextEdit the text I enter displaud properly. If I look at the 
document with Windows Notepad all the text is on one line.

Hello,

I had to do just a little bit of work to test this out…

1. In the save dialog choose the  encodings menu.
2. Choose the last item to customize available encodings.
3. Make sure "Western (DOS Latin 1)” is checked
4. Close the customize encodings dialog.
5. Select "Western (DOS Latin 1)” from the encoding menu. It will probably 
already be selected.
6. Now save your document.

I myself don’t believe that text edit has settings for line breaks.

TextEdit and Windows

   When reading a plain text document in Windows that was created with 
TextEdit on the Mac, the line returns are not respected. Isn't there a 
setting in TextEdit that will correct this? Thanks.
