<p>The issue with the xyz_not_working.dat file is that end of lines are defined as "Macintosh", set them as Linux or Windows and the file imports with no issues. Anyway no crash/freeze even if not changing this property of the file. Attached the modified version.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #12506: Crash adding delimited text layerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/12506?journal_id=603042015-04-04T08:40:23ZMaximilian Krambach
<ul></ul><p>On Debian Linux (QGIS 2.8.1) it is working fine. I noticed the "newline" separator was set to "macintosh" in the non-working.dat, whereas in the working.dat it reported as "unix". Maybe that's the problem?</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #12506: Crash adding delimited text layerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/12506?journal_id=603052015-04-04T09:11:43Znorris lam

<p>Thanks Giovanni for the fixed file and tip on the 'Mac' end of line. I was able to regenerate the file in Matlab with the proper new line and it works perfectly now ('wt' option instead of 'w' for anyone interested).</p>
<p>By the way, how were you able to 'see' that it was 'Mac' instead of 'Win/Linux'? It would be great for me to learn how to do that and troubleshoot on my own.</p>
<p>But I still get the freeze up when using the 'wrong' new line.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention that I am running win 7 in a virtual box under mac (parallels 8) and I dont have it connect to the internet. So I have never done any updates on this. Maybe that has something to do with it?</p>
<p>Anyway, let me know if I can help in any way to track this bug down.</p>
<p>Also, thanks Maximilian for the suggestion.</p>
<p>Happy Easter guys!</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #12506: Crash adding delimited text layerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/12506?journal_id=609702015-05-10T04:05:55ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
