Solve : CAN AN ASCII CHARACTER 0Dh OR 0Ah BE PLACED INTO A TEXT FILE USING A DOSBATCH??

Answer»

I HAVE A TEXT FILE WITH MANY LINES

TEXT.............TEXT
TEXT.............TEXT
TEXT.............TEXT
TEXT.............TEXT

AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO USE A BATCH FILE THAT FORCES A TAB
OR CARRIAGE RETURN OR BACKSPACE INTO THE TEXT FILE?

TEXT.............TEXT [CARRIAGE RETURN]
---->LINE space CREATED HERE
TEXT.............TEXT [CARRIAGE RETURN]
---->LINE space CREATED HERE
TEXT.............TEXT [CARRIAGE RETURN]
---->LINE space CREATED HERE
TEXT.............TEXT [CARRIAGE RETURN]

SO THAT EACH LINE IN THE NEWLY CREATED TEXT FILE HAS A CARRIAGE RETURN
BETWEEN EACH LINE.

WOULD ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS?Quote

Yes. Please try turning of your CAPS LOCK and stop shouting at us. We are a peaceful tribe

Most any script language can handle the characters found on any ASCII chart. Batch code, well not so much. Batch code can handle carriage returns however.

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%i in (Text.txt) do (
echo %%i >> newText.txt
echo. >> newText.txt
)

File names and paths are your responsibility. GOOD luck.
