I'm sure that, at least once, you downloaded a text file that was written in Unix environment and had those nasty black boxes instead of line brakes. This isn't so bad when you need to read the file as you can manually press enter every time you encounter one or simply open it in wordpad instead of notepad, but the problem appears if you actually need to process such a file from inside visual basic. If anyone knows how to transform such files pretty, pretty, pretty please HELP! Thanks in advance,
