I am currently writing a VB program that retrieve messages from the MQ using MQGet. After retriving each message, I write it to the file. But when I open up the file, a square box appears after each line. I am sure that the square box is a line feed (i am using w2k). Is there a way to have MQSeries strip away the line feed or a way to make the boxes disappear?

thanks,
Paul0al

Where is the message coming from? If it's unix, then a linefeed is one byte, not two on NT (NT actually writes CR/LF pair).

Also many programs on NT store newlines as a single linefeed character in memory.

If you're writing the file in binary mode, then the LF char does not get expanded to a CR/LF pair.

Try writing the file in text mode to get the expansion.
