True https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-3.2 > LiveCode using the URL file command will write the file differently on > Windows compared to Mac or Linux. Sure do wish Livecode would let us declare what a “text” file return character or characters was for writing a file. Same as we do with itemdelimiters. Something like: set linedelimiter to U+000D & U+000A > I can build the variable for the vCard and use CRLF instead of RETURN for > line endings. > > If I write the file using URL binfile format will it still be a text file > that other programs can read? if you give it a .vcf suffix it should work.
