Hi I am creating some text files on a local machine, mac os x, using PHP and apache, however after manipulating the files, they are unreadable by certain applications, If i open these files in word for instance then save them as txt files, they then read fine, I believe it is something to do with ascii formats, has anyone come across this, or know of a solution I could experiment with,

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Thanks

I get the same problem on (not on mac), and my solution is using another text editor.

 

I'm sure there's some free ones here... Just sort by your OS version.

Hi Thanks for the reply,

 

I can create a script thorugh applescript to fix this problem, but when a lot of files are involved i'd rather like to create the correct file formats to start off with, anyone know any solutions or the cause?
