What is the universal newline for all operating systems? (LF and CR)


When I write a file using Delphi it's on a Windows machine and the text files it puts out work fine on windows. When I use it on a Mac though it's expecting the formatting to be a bit different. On Mac the newline is different and it can't always read the Windows files.

How can I make my files readable by mac programs?


Solution

  • The simple fact is that it is different for all operating systems. There is no "universal" newline. The best you can do is be aware of the differences.
