Hi,
I wrote a little Mathematica program which can plot and manipulate crystal structures and also export them to several different file formats. One of these export types creates a .dat file which can be directly used as input for an ab-initio density functional theory program I use. However, this ab-initio program runs on a Unix cluster and does not understand input files with Windows line breaks, but my personal computer runs on Windows, so naturally, Mathematica exports files with Windows line breaks. I do have a text editor which can easily change the line break format (PlainEdit), but it's somewhat cumbersome that I have to remember to do that every time.
Is there any way to force Mathematica to export a .dat file with an arbitrary line break format? I already tried setting the CharacterEncoding option, but that still produces Windows line breaks in all cases.
The export function is basically:
Export["name.dat",contents,"FieldSeparators"->" "]
where "contents" is a 2d array of numbers and strings.
I hope someone can help me with this.
Regards, Bianca
