The simplest way is to add a line AFTER the output file has been closed.:

Code:

system("ux2dos  withcrlf.csv > withcrlf.csv");

Show server-side source

Without looking at the server-side code that exports the list file into CSV format it is not possible to say if it can be done.

If you have the source, change all occurrences of \n to \r\n, maybe conditionally if you want that.
