Delphi project source codes is all on one line

[JohnLM 27]

Specs: Delphi XE7, VCL, Windows 7

 

So, while working in a new (isolated) project to figure out a better function() to use in one of my projects (SimpleBrowser), I stumbled upon a problem.  And the subject says it all.

 

I need to pull a custom function that I wrote from the SimpleBrowser project and work on it as a separate project.  So, I select and copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into a new delphi project.   The code snippet is pasted correctly in the IDE.  However, when I selected and copied that code again from that new project and pasted it into notepad (because for every new function I create,  I added to my "delphi code snippet" file) all the source code are on one line.  If I follow that same process but copy from the original project, I get the same issues, all the source codes are on one line--there is no carriage returns, no formating, etc.. 

 

I tried to figure out why this is happening, and I can only assume that something unique was set in the IDE of this demo project, "SimpleBrowser" but I can't figure it out. 

 

This SimpleBrowser is a demo from the "CEF4Delphi" project.  The folder is: "..\CEF4Delphi\WebView4Delphi\demos\Delphi_VCL\SimpleBrowser"

 

Does anyone have any clues as to what is going on ?

You probably copied source code that only contained line feeds (#10) or only carriage return (#13) rather than the Windows (DOS) convention with carriage return followed by line feed (#13#10).

Notepad cannot handle this, other editors (e.g. Notepad++) can. The latter can also convert between the different styles too.

The IDE in the latest versions can automatically correct that for you, if this option is enabled.
