I have just discovered that in OS X, at any rate, a text file (including CSV
files) brought over from Windows to the Mac and duplicated in the Finder by
pressing command-D changes all the CRLF Windows line-endings to CR Mac line
endings. This completely buggers up any scripts that expect CRLFs. It's
possible to side-step this (from OS 10.1 on) by getting 'paragraphs' instead
of using CRLF as a text item delimiter, but that won't work in OS 8.x - 9.1
when the line-ending might indeed be CRLF. These text files are all seen by
OS X as "C-header files" but i don't think that has anything to do with it.
Duplicate should mean "duplicate" - copy. The Finder should not be stripping
out the LFs when you ask it to copy. Where does one report a bug of this
sort (not AppleScript)?
