Download Website with formatting using Wget

Question

I have a PHP script which runs on our website and echos a bunch of content to the browser, each line has a unique ID. I installed GnuWin32 and wrote a small BAT script to download this content to a TXT file which is working fine, however when viewed in Notepad it has lost the line breaks.

I have tried appending "\\r\\n" and "\\n" to the echo string in the PHP script but still have this issue. Can anyone please point out where my mistake is?

@echo off
setlocal
set TARGET=website.com/report_file.php
wget -O ServerID.txt -p %TARGET%
endlocal

Answer 1

Maybe you have LF ( 0x0a ) terminated lines in your .txt file. Notepad handles CRLF ( 0x0d 0x0a ) terminated lines.

If you are using gnuwin32, you can use conv to change the line endings in your file.
