How do you test for newline

Question

Hello all,

How do you put the newline character into a pattern in .Net? \n does not seem to work. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions!

Answer 1

Use "\r\n" for non-Unix systems. To make it system neutral, you can use the framework provided Environment.NewLine property in the pattern as well.

Example:

string input = "new4" + Environment.NewLine + "2line";
Console.WriteLine("Text: " + input);
Console.WriteLine("Result: " + Regex.Match(input, @"\d\r\n\d").Value);

Document my code? Why do you think it's called "code"?

Answer 2

Hello

\r stands for carriage return (0x0D) and \n stands for line feed (0x0A). On Windows systems, text files use \r\n to terminate lines, while UNIX text files use \n.
