When saving a file (using fclose(f)) where I have used only "\\n" as newline I get CRLF in the file.
But when saving an XML (using xmlDocumentToFile(docNum,fileName)) it is saved with only LF.



How can I save the XML file with both CR and LF?

Why do you need also the carriage return in the xml file?

In your image the editor seems to also handle it without the carriage returns.

The reason is that some service personell have to edit this settings-xml from time to time. And windows nodepad (not notepad++) displays it on one line when it is only LF.

Could the service personnel not use wordpad (without word wrap)?

Following Ideas (I'm not on windows so I did not test it):

- When the personell uses WinCC_OA itself to edit the file, you could try the CTRL function textEditor() instead
- When this does not work, try using xmlDocumentToString() and then do a
f = fopen(name, "w"); fprintf(f, "%s", theString); fclose(f);
I assume this will create CRLF on windose
