NotePad and WordPad (why)

[baray98]

I was trying to save some text from my QTextBrowser to a file like below

QString strFile = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this);
    if (!strFile.isEmpty())
    {
        QFile myFile(strFile);
        if (myFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
            myFile.write(text().toUtf8());
 
    }

QString strFile = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this);
    if (!strFile.isEmpty())
    {
        QFile myFile(strFile);
        if (myFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly))
            myFile.write(text().toUtf8());
       
    }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

now when i look at my saved file in NotePad its one big long line but in the WordPad its okey meaning lines (newlines) are the same as what i saw in my QTextBrowser.

Does it mean that there a special thingy for notepad?

P.S.
I also tried using QTextStream to save it....

Hi,

Notepad can not do unix style newlines (\n) it needs dos/windows style which is (I think) '\r\n'. Wordpad on the other hand can do both

If you use the QIODevice mode Text rather than WriteOnly, then the end of line character will be translated according to the local encoding, for example "\r\n" for Win32.
