Hi
I use a "for each loop" on a write task to iterate a variable with lines ending with CrLf and write the lines to a file. In the process I want to remove the Cr, so lines are terminated only with Lf.

1: In the loop I set the [Line break] = Cr
2: In the write task I set [Line break] = NoLineBreak
3: Result: only Lf in the file (!)

This is what I want, but I don't understand why [Line break] in the loop should not be = Lf. If I choose Lf the result is only Cr in the file. Is it a bug?

I do not not think so, have you checked your file with notepad++ or similar? You can attach the file here with screenshots of settings.

I have tested again and the behavior is as I described. But after giving it some thought it may be correct behaviour after all.

When [Line break] is set to "Cr" in the [For each x in y] the following "Lf" is added as the first value in the next iteration.

Ex (having [Line break] = "Cr"):
testline1[Cr][Lf]
testline2

1st iteration: "testline1" is processed.
2nd iteration: "[Lf]testline2" is processed.

The result:
testline1[Lf]
testline2

Yes, as you split on Cr the Lf will remain in the string. This means you have to Replace any Lf on the current row before using that row.
