Sounds like you need to run them through the unix2dos for the text
conversion. Also, if going vice versa use the dos2unix command :)

cheers!

Hello All.

I use gedit and text files for creating log/journal files for different
projects I work on.
I do not save them with an ext. of txt I just save them. and it appears
that it is in UTF-8.

I also travel with my log files on my thumb drive.  And when I open them
on a winXP machine the files do not appear as txt files.  And when I
open them in notepad I get a odd charater where each space would appear....

How/which format should I save my txt files in in order to move them
around and be able to read them?


Also.. under xp in a txt file if the first line has '.LOG' in it .. each
time it opens the date is entered.  This is nice for journalling on
different projects.

Please advise.
T
