c# add carriage return and line feed

Vuk Stanojevic

Hi everyone,

i'm exporting datagridview to txt file.

first 2 lines of txt are defined in advanced.

other lines of txt should be exported from datagridview.

I manage to do it, but for each line which will be written in txt i need to add 0x0D carriage return and 0x0A line feed.

Can you help me how to add carriage and line feed.

My code is bellow.

Thank you.

tw.WriteLine(cban + cname + ccity + date + blanko + mbank + nula).ToString();// on the end of this line i have to add carriage return(0x0D), and Line feed (0x0A)
tw.WriteLine(cban + cname + ccity + totamount.ToString() + totalxml.ToString() + blanko2 + type);// on the end of this line i have to add carriage return(0x0D), and Line feed (0x0A)
for (int i = 0; i <= dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j <= dataGridView1.Columns.Count - 1; j++)
{
sLine = sLine + dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value;
}
tw.WriteLine(sLine); //also for each line written from datagridview i have to add on the end of each line carriage return(0x0D), and Line feed (0x0A)
sLine = "";
}

using System;
using System.Text;
Encoding ascii = Encoding.ASCII;
Byte[] encodedBytes = ascii.GetBytes(sLine);

      Console.WriteLine("Encoded bytes:");
      foreach (Byte b in encodedBytes)
      {
          Console.Write("[{0}]", b);
      }

For writing ASCII use this:
using (var sw  = new StreamWriter(File.Open("MyFile.txt"), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII))
{

}

\r \n solve my problem thank you.
Another question, when i export file it save it using encoding UTF-8, but i need Encoding ANSI.
How i can export it using ANSI encoding?
I try to put Encoding.Default in code, but it export it again in UTF-8.
Thank you.

tw.WriteLine(sLine+"\r\n");

You can also use System.Environment.NewLine which in non-Unix systems is constant for "\r\n".

Ok first of all the string you want to add is: "\r\n"

Or simply add; tw.WriteLine();

But this line does not make sense:
tw.WriteLine(cban + cname + ccity + date + blanko + mbank + nula).ToString();
in C# 8.0 use this formatted example
tw.WriteLine($"{cban}{cname}{ccity}{date:dd-mm-yyyy}{blanko}{mbank}{nula}\r\n");
