Notes

As indicated by the syntax, EndOfLine can be used in either of two ways. You can call one of its properties to get the line ending for that platform or you can call it without accessing any of its properties. In that case, it returns the EndOfLine character or character string for the platform being compiled. For ConsoleApplication, ServiceApplication and WebApplication on Mac OS X, the EndOfLine function returns EndOfLine.Unix.

Use the ReplaceLineEndings function to convert the line endings of text from one line ending to another.

Some applications on Mac OS X require a Unix line ending because Mac OS X is based on BSD Unix.


Examples

The following example specifies Unix line endings.

Dim cr as String
cr=EndOfLine.Unix
TextField1.Text ="Hello world"+cr+"Such as it is."
