Hi
what i meant is that the number of the characters in the file REPORT54784
are 300 , while in the SREPORT54784 the number of the characters are 301
i didn't mean to the name of the file .i can't display the input and output it's write that it's binary files.
please help
Thanks
Hi
i did your last commands which show exactly what you've posted.
$ od -c REPORT54784
0000000 z \n a
0000003
$ od -c SREPORT54784
0000000 a \n z \n
0000004
my problem is that i have a program which accept this file in constant size of the record.
can i always be sure that the addition will be newline ? and not some other character ?
and if so how can i overcome this problem since i want to keep the file in the same size , due to what i've wrote above.
thanks in advanced
