Writing output in unix format (vb.net)

[Lyle A. Sieren]

Hello! Sorry...I accidentally posted the last message before finishing it.

How do you write a file in unix format from vb.net? I need it in unix format to complete a CIM load in Progress.

I am trying to use the following code to write but this is not working properly.

outfilew.Write(group6)
outfilew.Write(Environment.NewLine)

If I take the data and convert it to unix thru a utility it then works properly.

Thanks for your time!

Lyle,

The question on your original answer stays.

It has to do with the GetEncoding from the encode class.

I hope this helps,

see the answer of Phil in your previous post


i have looked it up in one of our old applications that comunicates with
text files on a file share to a Unix machine
well in VB6 we just wrote a textline and used the linefeed as line ending
character

so phil`s example is the one you need i guess
