Blunist:"I remember the hex values for CR / LF was 0D 0A". :::::::::: 0x0D, 0x0A ::::::: I bet that didn't get me a CR/LF either! :::::::::: I wish I could blame my 2=0 error on my iPad but I won't sink so low. If I cite "8A" then clearly (unless you have my eyes) that pairs with "0A" not "2A". Aging sucks. Once I was a visionary, now the vision is impaired. Or maybe the brain cells. Thanks for the correction.
