mac to windows text

[chesneil]

Hi,

I want to send text files written in Simpletext on my mac to windows machine. When I mail it and open it in wordpad/notepad it shows the whole thing on one line, with double block-shaped things between what on my machine are line breaks. I've set my mail to Windows setting. Anyone know how I can do this?

Much appreciated.

Different OSes put line breaks in different way, Mac OS 9 and below use \r, *nix uses \n, Mac OS X uses both \r and \n, depending on what application it was created in, and Windows, trying, and failing to be compatible, uses \n\r.

As for your problem, the easiest thing to do is open it on Windows and do a find and replace for the blocks, replacing them with line breaks.
