I use Ada 2012 to write Windows programs; my usual compiler is 32-bit TDM-gcc which implements the gcc-5.1.0 version of the Ada compiler.

My problem is a simple one: i need to produce a program which reads lines from a text file; if a line meets a requirement, it is written to an output file; if it does not meet the requirement it is not written to the output file.

The annoyance that I must deal with is the fact that the files are not Windows text files, which use the <cr><lf> convention to terminate text lines.

The files use a single <cr> as the line terminator.

Is there a way to get Ada.Text_IO to use a line terminator that is not the default for the operation system on which the program runs?
