My windows 7 downloads files with appended lines

command-line windows windows-7 wget file-download

I have a windows 7 on my old laptop which don't support newer OS so i keep that as a test machine for various codes.

Most of the times I use wget for transferring files from my new laptop to the old one and most of the time when I open the file it has appended lines. I mean, all the lines are just in one line.

Not only wget but I have made a vba code to download files and it still has them in just one line. How to solve this?


Solution 1:

If you're downloading text files from Linux, most likely your problem is the Linux end-of-line which is badly recognized on Windows.

Windows uses "Carriage-Return Line-Feed" (\r\n) as the line ending. Linux/Unix and MacOS use just Line-Feed (\n).

To convert Linux line endings to Windows, you could use the Unix2Dos utility.
