Support DOS/Windows Newlines

Posted by Stu on Sep 07, 2009

Hi,
I've been trying some sketches to test compatibility of shoebot and nodebox... if I import from shoebot from windows I get double newlines.

Normally the PyQt version of NodeBox should run decently within Windows. I don't think it has problems with line endings. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows box at hand so I can't test this for you.

Not sure about Shoebot though, perhaps you should ask the Shoebot people.

In Python, that can be fixed with a 'U' flag in the open function.

f = open("C:\some\windows\file.txt", 'rU')

I believe Stu is referring to the fact that lines in Windows files are separated with newline + carriage return while OS X and Unix simply use newline. Apparently the carriage return isn't stripped in the nodebox editor so you get double lines.

We can fix that. I'll add it to the to-do for next release.
