Re: How to eliminate CR (carriage return) character
Yoavo,
this might help you:
From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yeby3zcb(VS.80).aspx:
t Open in text (translated) mode...linefeed characters are translated to
carriage return-linefeed combinations on output
b Open in binary (untranslated) mode; translations involving carriage-return
and linefeed characters are suppressed.
You are staying that you don't want this character to include the CR before
LF. Here the point is, as you can see, this is the key difference between
text-mode and binary-mode. You can decide what mode would better suit your
case.
If you really want to have the control to allow the CR-LF combinations at
some points and not the other, I believe you would definitely need the
untranslated mode and control it yourself in code. But, do take a look back
at the workflow to identify why you need this.

We have a large program which writes into this file, and we do not want to
change the whole program.
It gets the character as input, and in certain cases we want this
character NOT to include the CR before LF.
Is there a way to implement this without opening the file in binary mode?
Thanks again for all your answers.

I don't think you understand the difference between binary and text mode.
You can read/write a text file in binary mode just fine.

We are trying to output a file with LF (line feed) only (ascii char
10), but we get also the CR (carriage return) character (ascii char
13).
Here is our program:
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
FILE *fp = fopen("tmp.bin", "w");
Do
FILE *fp = fopen("tmp.bin", "wb");
(open as *binary*)
char c1 = 10;
fprintf(fp, "line1 %c line2", c1 );
return 0;
}
And the binary output is:
6C 69 6E 65 31 20 0D 0A 20 6C 69 6E 65 32 line1 line2
How do we output a line with LF and not CR?
Don't open it in "text" mode (the default).
