No, develop on OSX, deploy on linux.
The file action was taking a text blob from a SQL SELECT and writing it to a tmp file. The TEXT BLOB originated in a textarea field in a browser, so I suppose DOS line endings could have been introduced there, except the form was entered in firefox on Mac, and the input was copied from a unix text file with unix line endings.

Anyway, sed did the trick to clean up the file.

Biggest problem was figuring out why the unix source file would work, but not the tmp file written by witango. I finally used diff and every line was different!

did you create the taf in windows witango studio? When you create the taf in windows, it will put crlf in the write action when you hit return. To avoid, don't hit return in the write action, and specify the line endings you want.

myline of text<@char 10>mysecondlineoftext <@char 10> al;kfjd;lkjf my third line of text<@char 10>

and so on, do all on one line in the write action.

I'm running Witango 5 on Fedora 4, and writing a file. For some reason the file gets DOS line endings.

Is there a switch to control DOS vs. Unix line breaks?

Or do I have run a separate shell script to cleanup output from witango?


thanks.

Bill
