This is a function of the operating system. On Unix systems only a linefeed character is added to the end of a line whereas on Windows both carriage return and linefeed characters are added to the end of a line. If you open a file created on a Unix system with the notepad app it will have one line with strange characters in it. A quick fix, if you open the same file with word pad it will be converted and you can save it. If you created a file on a Unix system for use on a Windows system you have to add a carriage return character to the end of the line.

Hi Jaweed, I haven't looked too closely at your code, but I did notice on thing that I would consider the most likely candidate: CHAR(13) is a carriage return, not a line feed. Try using CHAR(10) instead for your LINE.FEED variable. You might have to use CHAR(13):CHAR(10), but I think CHAR(10) should do it. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jaweed Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] import data to excel sheet...
