Hi friends,
exploring Harbour code for my need,
I found a problem on source "harbour\bin\check.hb", function "EOLDetect".
It can returns not very true informations:
1) about the EOL detected
2) about lines number (minor problem)
I used these cases, as the content of a file to analyze.
I know, they are bad / stupid, probably none of us create these situations,
but in my two sources was happen (I don't konw why).
content := "line_1st" + CHR(13) + ;
"line_2nd" + CHR(10)or
content := "line_1st" + CHR(13) + ;
"line_2nd" + CHR(10) + ;
"line_3rd" + CHR(13)+CHR(10) The current function returns EOL sequence as DOS style, because count CR and LF.
On the other hand, the number of lines returned is questionable.
So, I rewrote the function.
The main difference is that it returns a numeric value instead of EOL byte sequence.
Where (my choose):
-1 mixed EOL
0 no EOL found at all
1 DOS style
2 NIX style
3 MAC style
in attachment, simple source to compare two solutions.
Regards.
