Line Separator

#InterSystems IRIS

Hello all, 
I am facing a little issue with line separators.  I export classes with $SYSTEM.OBJ.Export to the file system, but I'm on a Linux (docker) environment and he uses LF. 

Is it somehow possible to change the line separator for the export or in general?

Thanks in advance!

Bests, Matthias

Hi there,

Are you using VSCode?

If so, you can convert the EOL for new files you create and ones you edit. On VSCode you can use LF on WIndows too without issues.

Otherwise, after exporting the classes, do the following in terminal

Set tOldFile = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
w tOldFile.LinkToFile("C:\whereever\code-with-crlf.xml")
Set tNewFile = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
w tNewFile.LinkToFile("C:\whereever\code-with-lf.xml")
Do tOldFile.Rewind()
While ('tOldFile.AtEnd) {  set tTempStr = tOldFile.ReadLine()  Do tNewFile.Write($ZSTRIP(tTempStr,"*",""_$CHAR(13)) _ $CHAR(10))  }
w tNewFile.%Save()
do tOldFile.%Close()
do tNewFile.%Close()

Then import that file and see if this solution broke your code. :)
