View Full Version : Carraige Return Line Feed

Yahoo Geocities inspects files before uploading them to the user's site. I tried to upload an HTML file from First Page 2006, and it said it was an invalid file. After much searching, I found out why: it expects a carriage return/line feed at the end of every line and that a line has fewer than 7000 characters. I opened my HTML file in Notepad and saw one long line. I added a couple of carriage returns and then uploaded it without issue. How do I set my editor up such that it will start putting in hard carriage returns at the end of lines?

Try opening it in WordPad and saving it as a text file. That should change the line feed characters to CRLF characters so the file will look right when viewed with NotePad.

I'm having the same problem - however, I've used evrsoft 2006 on other systems without this happening! I haven't found a setting yet, but there must be one!

SOLVED! When saving the file from Evrsoft, specify a type of txt!

Hi,

Are there any settings that will allow me to output a text file that Notepad will read directly (without going via Wordpad)?

I've tried Saving As .txt and using Unix returns instead of Windows, but nothing works.

Thanks for any help.

did you encase the name.txt in quotes like this

"nameoffile.txt" ? Worth a try...dont have FP2006 anymore for so many reasons

that will force windows to make it a text file.

I take it you mean save as txt from Firstpage 2006?

I have the same problem.
I have a page saved with "\n" as end of line character. I open the file with FirstPage2006, I insert a space, and I save. The document produced have "\r" as end of line... the document become unreadable.

Maybe it's a feature... so how can I disable it? If it is not, it'a bug.

Save as Txt and rename is not a solution, is a workaround: if it is the only way, I have to find another editor, even if this it a good editor.

Try using Search and Replace from within FirstPage 2006, searching for \r and replacing with \n, first making sure that you enable the use of regular expressions in the Search and Replace dialog. I'm not at my own computer so I can't verify if this works. It may also be worth seeing if the same can be done across all web files in a project.

My recommendation for an alternative editor... HTMLKit ver 292.
