Asp Carriage Return help

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

Ok, I'm almost at my wits end here - I've searched everywhere for an answer but I can't find it. I'm working on a newsfeeder on Sumea so any website can grab news/jobs headers from this site. I've done all the hard stuff already (the headers are spat out in a text file and it's automated so this happens 3 times a day by itself etc)... but I'm stumped at this simple thing. I can't get a darn carriage return happening. None of these will give me a carriage return for example.

<%=chr(10)%>
<%=chr(13)%>
<%=chr(10) & chr(13)%>
<%=vbcrlf%>
<% response.write "Hello," & chr(10) & "Dolly" %>

I can't use
(it's for a txt file, not a html page.. Javascript is going to read the txt file), and the ascii equivalents of carriage return #13; and line feed #10; doesnt work either . Any ideas??

0x0d 13 '
' Carrige Return
0x0a 10 '
' Line Feed

In DOS/Windows you need a Carrige Return and then a Line Feed, so 0x0D then 0x0A. In Linux/Unix it's only a line feed, and on Apple/Mac it's only a Carrige Return...

But for ASP scripting I have no real idea, you could insert the character '
' or something, since that works in C & Co... ?

Yeh, <%=chr(13) & chr(10)%> is a carriage return and line feed.. Anyways, I figured out what the problem was. The carriage returns were in there, it's just with the way I was looking at them (printing the results on an asp page), you wouldnt see them. Saved the results as a txt file on the server, and the carriage returns were definately there.
