Analyzer automatically detects the carriage return (CR) and/or line feed (LF) characters that indicate the end of a record in CR, LF or CR/LF files. The Hex value for a carriage return is a 0D, for a line feed is 0A and for a CR/LF combination is 0D0A.
A CR/LF is the standard means of separating lines in text files on IBM-compatible personal computers. These text files are usually plain ASCII text, containing printable information such as report information or plain text. You can manually remove trailing blanks in the file to save space. The result is a file in which each record (line) length may be different.
Analyzer automatically detects CR/LF files and automatically provides the correct record length and character set.
CR files are unique computer files that have a carriage return (CR) to mark the end of each record. Analyzer treats these files the same as CR/LF files. This is the standard means of separating line files on Macintosh-compatible computers.
LF files are unique computer files that have a line feed (LF) to mark the end of each record. Analyzer automatically detects and treats these files the same as CR/LF files.
