hi,

i want to save text written in a multiline-edit.
what i'm doing is assign it to a list and then save it to a file.
but after saving there is always one linebreak at the end of the file even if i specifically remove it before saving.
so if my text contains only one character, the saved file is 3 bytes because of the linebreak.
is there a way to remove the linebreak?

thanks

attreus

Multi line edit boxes use two additional characters per line Carriage return "@CR() or @chr(13)" and Line feed "@LF() or @chr(10)". The @TRIM(<string>) will remove the superfluous ending characters.

thank you, life can be so simple, works great.

the 1byte-file was only an example. normaly the files are much bigger.
but it is nessesary to get out the correct filesize.
