WriteFile in ASCI mode writes a CR CR LF if I pass a CR LF.

[RobertoBozzolo]

Taken from online documentation for OpenFile (File Type parameter):

fileType

integer

Specifies whether to treat the data in the file as ASCII or binary. When you perform I/O on a file in binary mode, carriage returns (CR) and linefeeds (LF) receive no special treatment. When you open the file in ASCII mode, each CR/LF combination translates to an LF when reading, and each LF translates to a CR/LF combination when writing

WriteLine does not need any line feed at the end of the string since it appends the correct line termination itself. Since you are appending a CR/LF at the end of your string, the last LF is translated to a CR/LF thus resulting in what you are seeing. Try adding anything to the string.

I am getting the data from 2 differant sources 1 has CR LF, 1 has just LF.  Do you think it would work to use both ASCII or Binary writes for the differant data sources to the same file?

Couldn't you simply remove any CR/LF character prior to pass the string to WriteLine?
