Re: EOF (End of File) character..

Thanks for the different characters to try.. I try tomorrow to see if I can try it on the program which needs it... Indeed the trick of reading the file and echoing all the different chars used should do the trick.. I will first try the underlying two chars to see if they do the trick... Thanks..
