Curious Artila coreyh Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'm using Vim so I can use either easily but I was wondering if it would be good to pick one or the other? If it was me I'd choose Mac because its only one character for the end of line instead of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody wz. As Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I assume you're talking about the script files. As far as I know, you don't really need any line breaks at all, as long as commands are separated by semicolons. (If someone knows differently, please correct me!) I'm pretty sure carriage returns, line feeds, tabs, and spaces (outside of a command) are ignored by the engine, except when an error gives you the line number for the script. So, basically, use whichever you wish. (Mac formatting works for me, and I'm on a Mac) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila coreyh Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Depending on what text editor you look at the files you don't see any line breaks and funny control characters instead. Thats why I asked. Its a formating issue more then a will it work issue. Most mac text editors handle pc text files fine but not so much the other way around.

Garrulous Glaahk Sir Alexander Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I believe WordPad will be able to format the files correctly. If not that, I find Crimson Editor to be a good tool. I'd say to go with Mac formatting for that reason if you can...it really doesn't make a difference, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk spyderbytes Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have BBEdit (on a Mac) set to use Unix line endings by default, and it works just fine. So yeah, I'd guess line endings just don't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
