I'm creating a Dialog-Based Win32 file backup utility
for use with other application.
The problem is that I want to get the following in a
textbox:
doc1.txt: copied without errors.
doc2.txt: not copied!
doc3.txt: copied without errors.
doc4.txt: copied without errors.
but it does not recognize "\n". I had this problem in
Visual BASIC ( ~~ two years ago), and I didn't found re-
solution to it. Now, the problem remains the same, but
over Pelles C and in other application.
I anybody knows how to resolve this problem over C,
please tell me.
I'm using:
- Windows 98;
- Pelles C (this application uses WinAPI);
- MS-DOS "command /c copy" to backup the files.
Note: It shows "\n" as an unrecognized character. (shows
a black square).

In C the sequence "\n" inserts the numerical value 13, which is ASCII for
newline (1).
However that is all that is special about this value - it happens to be used
for a newline marker. If you pass it to a function which treats 13 as
something else, for instance maybe a graphic or a foreign character, then
all your newlines will be replaced by that character.
This is what must have happened. The Windows functions you are calling
handle the ASCII alphanumerical characters as you want, but not the control
characters.
Probably what you need to do is strip the newlines out and represent them by
the way you lay out text manually. Instead of passing "O rose thou are
sick/nthe invisible worm" pass "O rose thou art sick", reposition the
cursor, and pass "the invisible worm".
Another possibility is that the Windows function is looking for the sequence
"/r/n".

First, note that "\n" is a string literal in C. Surely you mean '\n'
which is the newline character. C uses the single newline as the
line terminator.
Micro$oft, for historical reasons, uses two characters to terminate
a line; a '\r' and a '\n' or CR and LF. To the extent that Pelles C
is creating the text files, opening them with "w" mode or "wt" mode
rather than "wb", might add the CR for you.

Pedant's point.
I think you will find that '\n' on ASCII systems translates to the
LF or linefeed character, 012, 0x0a or 10. The expression '\r' is
the CR or carriage return character, 015, 0x0d or 13.

In C the sequence "\n" inserts the numerical value 13,
No, in C the sequence "\n" produces an implementation-defined value or
values on the output stream, just as "a" or "1" does. Don't mislead the
