Text File Changes - line feed/carriage returns?
I am under the assumption that when using Text Files Changes and Insert at the beginning that the text that is inserted is followed by a line feed/carriage return.
That does not seem to be the case. None of the actions text insertions are followed by a line feed/carriage return.
Properties cannot contain a lf/cr so cannot use Properties (tried vbscript: Set Property("NEWLINE") = vbcrlf
I can use String Editor to create a String with a lf/cr but cannot use Strings within Text File Changes
Anybody know a way to add lf/cr to Text File Changes? Otherwise I will need to use some other method to edit the file
