DetailPrint & FileRead
I have text file - history.txt -

qwert
asdfg
zxcvb
poiuy
lkjhg
mnbvc

Inside section read all its strings:

    SetDetailsPrint both
        ClearErrors
        FileOpen $0 "f:\test\history.txt" r
        IfErrors readok
read:
        FileRead $0 $1
        ifErrors readok
        DetailPrint $1
        MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP "$1"
        goto read
        FileClose $0
readok:

MessageBox show normal message. But in listbox of instfiles-page i see 2 symbols after every line of history.txt except last line (see attached file).

How can I fix it (remove these symbols)?
Thanks in advance.

Those are probably the $\r$\n characters. You have to use a function that trims those characters. You can find it on Include\StrFunc.nsh, or on Archive.

You can find the TrimNewLines function in the docs:
