Problem transfering between mac and pc
At school in my tech class i work on a mac and mostly in text edit because i worked on websites so when i bring my files back to my home computer on a flash drive and open them in note pad, every time there is a line break there is a 0 but it doesn't have the rounded edges and all the lines of text run together. For me to work on my file i have to put line breaks in text to understand it. I do not have this problem when i transfer from my pc to the mac, only when its form the mac to the pc.
Has any body else have this problem or can help me. |

Try opening the files in word pad, as a temporary solution.
For coding, I'd recommend notepad++, which has lots of features to make coding easier (hanging indents, syntax highlighting, etc), and will read unix formatted line breaks just fine. http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

I sometimes run into similar problems when I transpose between Office for Mac and Office for PC (Word). Generally, all the punctuation gets screwed up, which means that I have to go through an entire document looking for each occasion so it can be fixed. Sometimes I can use an edit "find and replace" function to deal with the problem, but in some cases, what gets substituted ends up being something else that is used all over the place, making substitution impossible.
Its even worse going from Word Perfect to Word, but that is a different issue. |

stored as unix, you can download a program for windows that converts it to and from unix/win32. might be easier, then you can use whatever program you want
