I am getting some strange results using read file, then using write file with the output.

The text file I am reading is just a regular text file with about 10 lines in it.
When the Read File task is run, the standard output shows the file being read fine with no extra characters at the end.

I then use a Write File task to append this data to a different text file using:
{STRING(Trim|{TASK(c405ba85-1769-4ade-80d7-c836f5cc5572,StdOut)})}

When I look at the file afterwards, the original text is there, along with the text from the new file, and then 2850 space characters. This extra output is affecting the next step in the job, but I cannot find out why it is putting them there. As stated above, the extra characters do not show up in the Read File task Output or Error Output. Can anyone shed some light on this?

You need to adjust character encoding on main settings in the Task.

All tasks were set to utf-8, but I changed to us-ascii and no change at all. Still a bunch of spaces after the output.

1. are you reading and writing on the same Server
2. what settings do you have in your regional setings of the Server?

Read and write operation is done on the same VC server, Windows 2008 Enterprise SP 1 server, 64-bit.

Regional settings are set to English (US), and Language is English.

And what about settings on the computer where the file was generated? Are you able to send the file to support@visualcron.com?
