Re: Problem reading data from a file (encounter EOF after second last record)

You mentioned doing it with notepad. There might be a scriptable
command-line way to do it less manually. I know it would be easy enough
in Unix. There's probably a simillar way in Windows, but I'm not so
fluent in Windows stuff like that.

Hmmm...otomh can't think of an easy way to get a control character at the command line in a standard MS shell. In the JPSoftware shells there's an char[] function so something like (untested)

echo %@char[13] >> file.dat

should work. Lacking that, creating a file w/ just the CR in it

copy file.dat+crfile.txt

would suffice I think in a MS shell.

All in all, much better to fix the problem at the source, I agree.
