#Text Editor Feature?
6 messages in this thread
It seems that the new R3 Text Editor will not display the last line of text in
a file if that line does not end with a hex "0D 0A" (a hard return).
I was more than a bit disconcerted to see my new "3ds3.bat" file (created with
another editor) displayed without the rather necessary command, "3dshell," that
concludes it! Izzat a feechur?!
Apparently, I don't have an editor capable of creating a line without a hard
return. I tried creating a text file in the F11 editor and leaving the cursor
at the end of the last line (without pressing Enter), but that didn't duplicate
the problem. Must be a feature. <g> Seriously, I'll pass this on to Autodesk QA
and they can see if they can dup. it.

Jack,
You can also create a text file from DOS. Type:
COPY CON:SAMPLE.TXT
first line
second line
third line
At the end of the last line, before a carriage return, hit the F6 function key
– this puts a ^z (control-Z, end-of-file code at the end of the file &
completes the save to a file called "sample.txt".

Sounds like an awful lot of trouble to go through to create a file that won't
work in the F11 text editor. <g>

I was using the WordPerfect Editor. It's been around for years–now comes as
part of WordPerfect Office.
I also found that doing a Save of my file with the R3 Text Editor caused the
deletion of the last line–apparently it just doesn't _see_ it.
Thanks Carl. As I said, I've sent this to Q.A. In the meantime, the
best workaround is to hit Enter after the last line of your text.
