Hello
I’m working on Mac and I just found out that a pre-set Value (over GUI) in a textarea uses CHR(13) (Windows) for RETURN. I would expect it would use CHR(10). Then at runtime it really uses CHR(10). I assume the same problem will be on Linux side.
Is this a bug? Otherwise how I can I set the value on Mac side so that is stored with CHR(10)?
Thank you… I’m still wondering why Xojo stores text with CHR(13) on Mac
I am wondering why in the Windows desktop, pressing the Delete key while an item is selected opens the .Parent directory ;).
Seriously, why ?
Another answer may be: MacOS Legacy.
Farai,
It may be best in your scenario, if you’re parsing the incoming text, to use ReplaceLineEndings in conjunction with EndOfLine to get a consistent result:
var myString as String = TextArea1.Value.ReplaceLineEndings( EndOfLine.Unix )
var lines() as String = myString.Split( EndOfLine.Unix )
