Problem creating text file

[SPlatten]

I am having a problem creating a text file, I populated a QStringList with the rows I want to print, I have verified that each row ends only with \r\n using Qt Creator.

Here is the code that writes the list to the file:

    QFile fCSV(strFilename);
    if ( fCSV.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Text) == true )
    {
        QTextStream tsCSV(&fCSV);
        foreach( strRow, slstRows )
        {
            tsCSV << strRow;
        }
        fCSV.close();
    }

What I'm seeing when I open this file in an editor that shows end of line terminators is that each line ends with \r\r\n, where is this coming from?

I've looked at the code and I only ever append \r\n once to each string and as I said using Qt Creator the bytes ending on the QString end only in 13 (\r) followed by 10 (\n).

Yet when it's written to file this is changed to \r\r\n.

@SPlatten
Qt does it. it appends the native platforms convention for line ending.
Since you are on windows i assume, you get the "\n" replaced with "\r\n"

Dont use QTextStream, but write the binary data directly:

    QFile fCSV(strFilename);
    if ( fCSV.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)  )
    {
        for( const QString & strRow : qAsConst(slstRows) )
            fCSV.write( strRow.toUtf8() );
        fCSV.close();
    }
