[Gambas-user] Non-linux line ending files are seen as binary by the IDE

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

I observed that Win7 tends to add some kind of flag byte(s) at the 
beginning of the file when it's UTF-8 (under VB).

Otherwise, I have solved the problem in one of my programs that must 
write UTF-8 files for a Win (VB) and Linux (Gambas) client, by adding a 
CR+LF at the end of each line when writing in Gambas and then Trim() 
each line when reading the files. The VB client, of course, can just 
read and write as it's used to do.
