special character in receiving file

[Former Member]

hi everyone.

i have implemented file to file scenario. I am getting file at my receiving end.

IN my receiver CC i have mentioned endSeparator as 'nl' , but when file gets created it shows special charater (box shaped) separating each record.

any idea where m going wrong ?

thanks,

Hi,

May I know in what format you are storing the target file and in what tool you are opening the target file.

hi,

when i opened that txt file in notepad , m getting that special rectangle character but when i opened it in wordpad, its coming perfectly.

what does this rectangle char is ??? when we specify endSeparator as 'nl' then do we need to open it in wordpad only ????

thanks,

yes, its .txt but as i said , i can see that special char when i open it in notepad and output look perfect if i open it in wordpad.

i dont know why notepad is not considering 'nl' as new line character and replacing it with the special char

thanks,

Gaurav,

Just give endseparator as '0x0D''0x0A' instead of 'nl'. This is the hexadecimal representation of new line. I think then it should work.

if you specify 'nl' as new line character, its like \n on windows. In windows some applications like wordpad understands and accepts it, but in notepad for a new line it expects \n\r , so thats why you are seeing that box.

hope this helps.
