Using Arduino Programming Questions

mrboni:
I'm playing with the sd card read/write tutorial. The example sketch works fine.

When I create a text file in notepad, copy it to an sd card and open it using the arduino, the formatting is different. Ie -

Original text - this is a test 1 2 34
Text printed in serial monitor - tisisa es 12 4

I've tried asni, utf8 etc

any ideas?

Original text - this is a test 1 2 34
Serial text - t is is a es 1 2 4

As previously mentioned code would help; however, the serial text is a subset of the original which would indicate data being dropped, either in the serial transmission to the computer or possibly in your code reading the SD card.
