System.Environment.NewLine is the constant you are looking for – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.newline.aspx which will provide environment specific combination that most programs on given OS will consider “next line of text”. In practice most of the text tools treat all variations that include \n as “new line” and you can just use it in your text “foo\nbar”. Especially … Read more
You can use Notepad++. The instructions to convert a directory recursively are as follows: Menu: Search -> Find in Files… Directory = the directory you want to be converted to Unix format, recursively. E.g., C:\MyDir Find what = \r\n Replace with = \n Search Mode = Extended Press “Replace in Files”
A newline (aka line break or end-of-line, EOL) is special character or character sequence that marks the end of a line of text. The exact codes used vary across operating systems: Operating System End-of-Line (EOL) marker Unix LF Mac OS up to version 9 CR Windows, DOS CR+LF You can use 
 for line feed … Read more
Java only knows about the platform it is currently running on, so it can only give you a platform-dependent output on that platform (using bw.newLine()) . The fact that you open it on a windows system means that you either have to convert the file before using it (using something you have written, or using … Read more
\n is Unix, \r is Mac, \r\n is Windows. Sometimes it’s giving trouble especially when running code cross platform. You can bypass this by using Environment.NewLine. Please refer to What is the difference between \r, \n and \r\n ?! for more information. Happy reading
There is a better way! The problem is because of URL encodings… You can use normal PHP text using \n but by passing it to urlencode method, as follows: $txt = urlencode(“here is my text.\n and this is a new line \n another new line”); It works for me!
Yes. Bash scripts are sensitive to line-endings, both in the script itself and in data it processes. They should have Unix-style line-endings, i.e., each line is terminated with a Line Feed character (decimal 10, hex 0A in ASCII). DOS/Windows line endings in the script With Windows or DOS-style line endings , each line is terminated … Read more
Historically when using dot-matrix printers teletypes CR would return the carriage to the first position of the line while LF would feed to the next line. Using CR+LF in the file themselves made it possible to send a file directly to the printer, without any kind of printer driver. Thanks @zaph pointing out it was … Read more
Replace ‘\n’ with “\n”. The escape sequence is not recognized when you use ‘. See the manual. For the question of how to write line endings, see the note here. Basically, different operating systems have different conventions for line endings. Windows uses “\r\n”, unix based operating systems use “\n”. You should stick to one convention … Read more
This will trim off any combination of carriage returns and newlines from the end of s: s = s.TrimEnd(new char[] { ‘\r’, ‘\n’ }); Edit: Or as JP kindly points out, you can spell that more succinctly as: s = s.TrimEnd(‘\r’, ‘\n’);
