CR LF line endings

idf-file
text-editor
retag add tags

I used the program Processing to edit a IDF file and save as a new file, basically just making a copy and adding some new objects in the format as required by EnergyPlus.

However, when I try to open this new IDF file in IDF editor, I got the following error message:

Unix file format detected.

Please convert the file with a text editor to have CR LF line endings.

May I ask why I have this issue and how to solve it?

Thank you!

This is related to line endings. If you use Notepad++ text editor, you can open your file, go to "Edit>EOL Conversion" and change from "Unix/OSX Format" to "Windows Format". This should solve the issue of opening a file in the IDF editor.
