You can use the codes < pre > and < /pre > around your code (without spaces); in this case, the UT will keep the spaces you type. See the example below, in your pseudocode.

Doesn't the fputs() in the header output the empty line?

Another possibility: fputs() will always add a CR/LF combination. If your text already happens to contain CR/LF, you might get an additional line.

Perhaps it will help to step through the code in the debugger, and see what code gets executed, and what the values of relevant expressions are (mainly, the expressions that contain the output).

>I have to take a data table (vouchers) and format it into a text file that our accounting system can understand (we call it the 'EDI' layout). Each record in the Voucher table can create up to 3 lines in the EDI file - Voucher Header (when the voucher number changes) and 2 Voucher Detail.

>These lines MUST be in the order of:
>Voucher Header
>Voucher Detail Line 1
>Voucher Detail Line 2
>Voucher Detail Line 1
>Voucher Detail Line 2
>Voucher Detail Line 1
>Voucher Detail Line 2
>Voucher Header
>etc.

>I'm using low level file I/O to do this and I'm using the following logic

store voucher number into variable oldvou
SCAN Fox table
  if voucher number <> oldvou
    create Voucher Header  (calls fputs() once)
    oldvou = voucher number
  else
    scan while voucher number = oldvou
      created Voucher Detail  (creates the 2 detail lines - calls fputs twice)
endscan (voucher = oldvou)
endscan (fox table)
