Thanks heaps. The best way around it does appear to be implementing *nix file endings.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yeah, normally it’s caused because you’re editing on windows and the line endings are therefore incorrect.

In Eclipse, which I use, you can configure the default for the workspace to be unix line endings. I would imagine that pretty much all IDEs should have a way to convert line endings.

Alternatively use a tool like flip or linebreak on the Mac or sed/awk etc on *nix. There’s probably loads of tools for that, but hopefully your IDE should do it for you.

If however your standard is for windows line endings, alter the rules accordingly to expect \r\n rather than \n

Thanks for this … great tutorial.

BTW have you found a way to remove this error:

End of line character is invalid; expected “\n” but found “\r\n”

Cheers,
Paul
