Hi all,
I'm writing an inventory report using Apple System Profiler and then I use
URL Access Scripting to send the outputFile to an FTP location. The
problem that i am having is that the FTP location is W2K, so the
end-of-line characters don't work correctly. If I use RETURN to mark the
end of each line of my file, they will not show up as separate lines on
the remote server. So, I think I need to add another character to the end
of my lines so that the lines show up correctly on the remote server.
I've tried a few things already, but they either wouldn't compile or
didn't work. Anybody have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Currently, I am using a double-tab to mark the end of a line, but I'd
rather that this be more readable on the W2k end (it doesn't need to be
nicely readable on the Mac end).
Thanks!
Jonathan
