problem with tFileOutputPositional

I'm tried to create a text file filled with data from a database using tfileOutputPositional. Job work correctly, but if i open file with Notepad his content is not formatted. How can i solve this issue? (See image below)

Notice: If I open file with MFC Wordpad e save it as "Text Document - MS-DOS format", when reopen file, it is formatted correctly.

thanks for the information. I don't know how the detailed resolution looks like, but I think it would be user friendly if:
* The default (prefilled in the gui) is set to the system-specific value (but there is a problem with different systems for generating / executing the script).
* I f you enter nothing, talend would use system specific linebreaks.
* Give a flag to select "use system specific linebreak".
So the user don't have to be worry about the operating system and special behaviors.

Like in all TOS File components : default will be "\n" and user can specify is own.
This is the general mechanism of the row separator property.
