All references to ASCII 32 should be ASCII 10. ASCII 32 is a space.

I have an Applescript triggered by a rule in Entourage that removes unwanted

carriage returns at the end of each line. I use wildcards to replace

punctuation/carriage return combos, then strip out all carriage returns then

Not 100% but close enough.

Then the script writes out a text file that an app monitors that inserts it

Generally the script has been agnostic between Mac, PC, HTML mail etc. Until

today. ASCII 13 and 32 both would generate carriage returns. But now a

and making sure that the tabs that usually come with it are removed)

generates an ASCII 32 and not a ASCII 13. No matter what kind of search and

inserter. The unwanted carriage returns aren't touched so the unwanted

carriage returns are still there. I've tried using pure ascii characer calls

but didn't work. This script has worked flawlessly for months then bam.

The search and replace routines is based on apples generic

replace_chars(text, text) subroutine and their write file routine.

Anyway to force the various carriage returns from different OS's to be a

"Mac" carriage return?
