Dear listers, As you have helped me tremendously before, I'm making progress in a lot of areas, and I'd like to ask again.
I have a text document that has a return, newline, announced by voiceover, after each and every line. While reading this text from top to bottom, it being more than one megabyte in size, this gets very annoying. I'm wondering. 1. Is there a way to find out what this is? Is this return, newline, being a carriage return, hex 0d, and then a linefeed, hex 0a, so is this a 2pair? If so, how can I take out all 0d's. In other words, because, if I understand correctly, Apple and unix both use only a linefeed as a ext line terminator, while windows does a carriage return linefeed pair, I want to get rid of the carriage returns while leaving the linefeeds, thereby making the text apple compatible, and as a voiceover user, avoid hearing return newline return newline return newline all the time. Can I do this with find and replace in text edit? Of course you can type in simple text to find, and replace it with nothing, thereby removing the found texts. But I can't type in a carriage return in the find field in text edit. Can I do this at all? 2. Is there another way, by loading the file, and then saving it in another format, by text edit? In windows notepad, I can tell notepad if I want unicode text, and if so, if I want utf8 or other stuff. Do you know how I can convert a text with carriage return linefeed into a carriage return only text, using text edit's open and save? Very interested. It's a small problem, but an interesting one to solve for folks like me who have windows texts, and mac text files on the same machine. Moving to apple bit by bit, this is a challenge.
