Hi all,
Unsure how to deal with what appears to be \n vs \r issues.
The following code works in Linux;
o = open("axenfs.reg")
n = open("axenfs2.reg", "a")
Why are you opening in "a"ppend? If you want to create a new file
containing the edited contents of the input file, just open "w".
But in Windows, its one continues line with a bunch of squares in it.
In Windows WHAT? Notepad, Wordpad, Word, a command console using
"type".
Geez man, relax. I thought it was obvious by the code that I was
opening it using Python.
I changed a to w and added a b, so all is well now, ie: "wb"
Still don't know why Windows treats text files as binary files but
using wb worked well.
