text file "carriage return at end of every line"

i have written a program which dloads data from a website and saves it to a text file. now a problem is i need to have that data on seprate line and the text file has a box like seprator at end of each line

how do i make my program identify the box as a end of line and put the data on seprate line

im attaching the output text file here with the post

That is most likely either a vbCr (carriage return) or vbLF (Line Feed) character.. you just need to replace that with both combined, eg:

Code:

---

myText = Replace(myText, vbCr, vbCrLf)

---

(if that doesn't work, change vbCr to vbLF)

Do you know the ascii code for that square box? I haven't encounter something like this but I think if you can figure out the ascii for that, it is possbile to use as a delimiter in Split() function.

dim myArr() as string

myArr = Split(YourTextHere, Chr(the ascii code here for box))

Oh And The Fun About The Boxes Is If I Try Pasting The Content Here Directly They Dont Show Nor Do The Show If I Open In Ms Word

It must be a carraige return on what Si is pointing out. If so you can separate it using VbCr as your delimiter.

The little "box" is a linefeed (ASCII 10) so just do as si_the_geek says and replace it with vbCrLf. It then formats fine in a regular multi-line Textbox.
