Reading Unix ASCII files
This article has not been rated yet. After reading, feel free to leave comments and rate it.
Do you need to read ASCII files that originate from a UNIX system? While DOS/ Windows environments separate lines with a #10#13 combination (^J^M), in UNIX systems only a #10 is inserted.
The regular Readln() does not recognize these line breaks.
A quick-and-dirty solution is loading the file into a TStringList. The TStringList.LoadFromFile() method will break up the lines - see below:
 |  | |
with TStringlist.Create do
begin
LoadFromFile(myfile);
SaveToFile(myfile);
Free; // don't forget to free the object
end;
