PS I can do vbscript readline/ writeline as a workaround, not too slow... But I would prefer not. Randall
Hi,I think it is asc=10, so "LF" rather than "CRLF", but I don't want to have to re-open , say a 80Mb or 0.5gig text file with a text editor, nor re-process the lines! Surely there is an option, or this can be modified in the ".output" command..?It is already OK in the ".dump" for instance?.. Thanks, RandallHello,
