Brainstorming the Linefeed Problem

Hey folks!

I was trying to build a calendar invite ICAL file, and sadly @newline() creates a CRLF rather than LF write doing a WriteFile.  This means the ICAL text file isn't mobile friendly.

I am circling back to this problem, and trying to figure out a workaround.  What about using @shell to open a command window, and use @echo or a similar command to write to a text file, inserting LF wherever we need it?

Anyone know how to insert a LF or @chr(13) character through a command line?

Hi Blair,

Check your email for the solution that I sent you February 2018.

The underlying issue is that FileOpen() opens the file as ASCII so the line end sequences are made to conform to what the operating system expects. So you need an external program to process the file as binary, which does not muck with line end sequences. That program is in your inbox.
