WriteLn outputting CRLF

Post by bmcc » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:09 pm

I set the system variable that controls the writing out of CRLF but WriteLn still spits it out. Can anyone give me any insight on this?

I am using an HTTPRequest and a IE object to extract data from a website and write it out to a file. There was a point when the CRLF was not being printed but then I started calling the VBScript functions and now I always see them when I view the file in Notepad.

Any help would be great thanks

It would help to see your code. The following prevents WriteLn from outputting CRLFs (so each write would appear on the same line with no new line characters between them):

Let>WLN_NOCRLF=1
WriteLn>outfile,res,text

If you are still seeing new lines in the output file then you must have CR and/or LF characters in the data you are writing out.
