When I export to:
- TEXT format
- and I use <property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.text.line.separator" value="
"/> as a report level property
This works fine, all lines are delimited with carriage return and newline.
But at the end of the file, always 2 newline feeds are added.
So, the last line has \r\n\n\n instead of \r\n :
od -c Blank_A4.txt
0000000 S t a t i c T e x t \r \n \n \n
0000017
Happens in the designer studio and also on the server.

Hi,
Those 2 newline characters at the end of the page are the default page separator.
In case a page separator is not specified, by default, the page separator is considered to be a double line separator.
I see that you have a report with only one page, because of the isIgnorePagination="true".
So maybe you were not interested in setting the page separator configuration property, similar to how you did for the line separator property.
If you add this property to your JRXML, the extra lines at the end of the page should go away:
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.text.page.separator" value=""/>
If you need to do this for all your reports that are exported to text format, you can add this line to the jasperreports.properties file that is in the root package of your classpath:
net.sf.jasperreports.export.text.page.separator=
In JasperReports Server, this file is under WEB-INF/classes/jasperreports.properties
If you are using Jaspersoft Studio, this property could be set in preferences, but currently there is an issue with this ability to set a string property to empty string, so the workaround for Studio is to set the property as custom property in JRXML, as indicated above.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Feel free to reopen this if you have new information.
Thanks,

Hi,
Decided to inhibit the page separator after the last page. This will be part of the next release.
Thanks,
Teodor
Hi,
Is there a way to set the page separator manually after the last page in R6.14.0?
Regards
Stefan
The text exporter no longer writes the last page separator after the last page.
If you need that, one way to do it is to extend the exporter class in your code like this:
JRTextExporter exporter = new JRTextExporter() {
@Override
protected void exportReportToWriter() throws JRException, IOException {
super.exportReportToWriter();
writer.write(pageSeparator);
}
};
Regards,
Lucian
