(I copied this from another topic of mine)
I was reading lines of text from a file, for example:
2011
02
11
using code like this:
1 2 3 | local yearString = fh:read( "*l") local monthString = fh:read( "*l") local dayString = fh:read( "*l") |
Are you sure you didn't save the file with CR/LF instead of just LF?
Its a common thing on windows where notepad adds CR/LF for each new line. You can use a string find/replace to handle it in your code.
I used notepad, but then why the different behavior between simulator and device? I figured it was a line ending thing so I was able to work around it. I ended checking the byte values of the strings to check for carriage returns and chopping off a character if found.
The reason the behavior is different is that the simulator uses Windows i/o routines to read the text contents, which handles the CR/LFs. But when you build for Android and run on the device it's running under Linux and the i/o routines are expecting just LRs at the end of lines.

Of course, thanks. Pretty embarrassing considering I'm a Linux & Windows developer. I just don't think like a developer when I'm at home :)
