Just because you cant be bothered to learn it properly, dont blame the tool if you cant use it.

As for your suggestion, thats fine, unless of course the program you are re-writing the file, doesn't like Windows/DOS style line-feeds...

soulkiss, why are you so arrogant ?

who said I cant be bothered to use it properly, I certainly never.

I take it your so clever that your still looking for a job

no wonder ophic, guys like a troll, seems to pop up everywhere there's a computing post and rubbish what people are discussing

there's ways of getting a point across then there's sheer arrogance and loads of assumptions about peoples knowledge and how people personally choose to do things

I'm sure he'll be happy to know you take him so seriously

Please don't fight people I don't want to have to have my thread locked. Remember its a forum so people easily make assumptions, and then things get carried away as its hard to get the inflection in the text that you would normally have in body and voice.
Also, calm the language down, there is no need for it. Darn, gosh, fudge and other words are more then enough.
