Square characters in output file after parsing ??

[netmediasurfer]

This is driving me nuts

I'm parsing files right ....


I opt to use an = sign as a delimiter but when NEOBOOK file writes out the updated content to a new file it keeps adding these little square characters on each line. I have no clue how to delete those. Tried all the special characters as delimiters and it won't go away. I did notice when I used [#13] that it generated more square characters in the output file. However, why would NEOBOOK add these to a file after selecting the "=" as the delimiter.

It's messing up my parsing and data manipulation.


I uploaded a screenshot because for whatever reason the forum won't display the square characters I'm talking about.


EXAMPLE

This code ....


FileToVar "![PubDir]\STATIONS_1.txt" "[RAW_PLAYLIST]"

StrParse "[RAW_PLAYLIST]" "=" "[arrayB]" "[pcountB]"

Loop "1" "[pcountB]" "[loop_position]"

FileWrite "![PubDir]\STATIONS_2.txt" "Append" "[arrayB[loop_position]]"

EndLoop


Outputs this issue

Circled the little squares that should not be there

Any ideas ?


Thanks!

Share.

netmediasurfer:

1) Are the screen shots of how notepad.exe renders the output file (STATIONS_2.txt) ?

2) Please post a screen shot of how it also renders STATIONS_1.txt

Most likely, the problem is caused by the character(s) used to indicate "new line" ...[#13][#10] (expected by Windows/notepad) vs just [#13] or [#10] used by *nix/mac systems.

If possible, upload the original file (STATIONS_1.txt) to a server from where it can be downloaded/examined.

Hi, thanks!

Managed to resolve the issue.

Yes, I'm opening the .txt file in Windows notepad when I see those square characters. I went back & started from scratch to see if I could find a better way to utilize the delimiters in the way I was breaking the data down. As you suggested I had to use some combination of special characters.


EXAMPLE

StrParse "[RAW_PLAYLIST]" "[#13][#10][#124]" "[arrayD]" "[pcountD]"



CODE EXAMPLE


.FOURTH DELIMITER FILTER

FileToVar "![PubDir]\STATIONS_3.txt" "[RAW_PLAYLIST]"

StrParse "[RAW_PLAYLIST]" "[#13][#10][#124]" "[arrayD]" "[pcountD]"

Loop "1" "[pcountD]" "[loop_position]"

FileWrite "![PubDir]\STATIONS_4.txt" "Append" "[arrayD[loop_position]]"

EndLoop



Thanks!
