Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark!

Bob,

you have different line endings depending on what system generated it.
* Macs uses cr as line ending
* Unix uses newline (linefeed I think)
* Win uses both, one following the other.

yes, something like this, or I am mixing who uses what.. but that don't 
matter. Check for line endings using numToChar func, check for cr, for 
lf, and for cr & lf.
That should do the trick...

Cheers
Andre
