I was adding/editing /moving around data in the Value area of the writefile task and i clipped of some HEX 0D's... So I ended up with HEX 0D 0A 0A on a line. Not sure how that happened. It caused an Invalid Handle on the following task that used the writefile data. It also took me a while to actually find the US-ASCII type. That was fun. Is there a way to set that as a default for all tasks unless specified otherwise? Or maybe that is not important since all we need to do is remember to specify what you need each time.
