Re: [WebDNA] [append] does not add the newline char at the end of the new record?! (which causes subsequent [search] to fail.)

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 103352
interpreted = N
texte = Sure, and it does, at least for numerous db i worked with during the last 10 years :-) It must be related to your specific case, otherwise, we would all be in trouble. You wrote "BUT the new record does NOT have a newline char at the end... UNTIL / UNLESS I [append] another record." It is of my knowledge that if there is no CR at the end on the last record of a db, there is no way to append anything at all. So if you can append another record, it would mean the CR is there. Maybe is it a LF? Anyway, there must be a rational explanation. - chris On Aug 20, 2009, at 15:29, John Butler wrote: > >> I'm not aware of any append bugs.
