If your problem is only about end-of-line characters, you can use the
"Convert EOL" input of the read and write file functions.
Reading a file with Convert EOL true will change the CR,LF, CRLF, LFCR
combinations into singles LF in the read string.
Writing a string to file with Convert EOL true will change them back to the
platform dependant end-of-line charater(s).
