missing CR LF with stream writer

[Guoqi Zheng]

Dear sir,

When I tried to use streamwriter to write a text into a txt file. All the cr
lf in my original text are gone.

Any one know why is that and what should I do???

below is my simple script.
Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("TestFile.txt")
' Add some text to the file.
sw.Write(MyTextVariable)

Thanks.

Use WriteLine instead of Write.

Thanks for your answer.

but that is not what I am looking for. I want know why my CR LF is missing.
I don't need to compare CR LF (which is also chr(10), chr(13)) to newline
property, etc.

Any other answer?

I should have added that, more exactly, what you need to do
is use the String.Replace method of the .Net Framework's String
class to replace the cr with Char(10) and replace the lf with
Char(13)..

Eliyahu,

Would

sw.Write(NewLine);

also work ?

Juan,

You mean sw.Write(sw.NewLine). Sure.
The original post leaves some room for interpretation, so the responses
could miss the point.

Yes. My fingers sometimes have a mind of their own.

re:

Sure.

I thought so.

Thanks!
