The accepted answer explains how to do this for all files (use files.eol in settings), but if you ever need to override that setting there’s an indicator at the bottom right that you can click on and change for this one file. Took me a while to notice that this was clickable.
You can safely use the \n line ending for .php and most of other files as well: PHP on Windows will read such files just fine. To set the default line ending for all new files: go to Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style and change Line separator option to the desired style (e.g. Unix … Read more
If you are operating on a file that you opened in text mode, then you are correct that line breaks all show up as ‘\n‘. Otherwise, you are looking for os.linesep . From http://docs.python.org/library/os.html: os.linesep The string used to separate (or, rather, terminate) lines on the current platform. This may be a single character, such … 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
Try setting core.autocrlf value like this : git config –global core.autocrlf true
Ruby does have a method for this: File.readlines(‘foo’).each do |line| puts(line) end http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/IO.html#method-c-readlines
What that usually means is that you have lines ending with something other than a carriage return/line feed pair. It often happens when you copy and paste from a web page into the code editor. Normalizing the line endings is just making sure that all of the line ending characters are consistent. It prevents one … Read more
In git-config, set core.autocrlf to true to make git automatically convert line endings correctly for your platform, e.g. run this command for a global setting: git config –global core.autocrlf true
Command :%s/<Ctrl-V><Ctrl-M>/\r/g Where <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-M> means type Ctrl+V then Ctrl+M. Explanation :%s substitute, % = all lines <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-M> ^M characters (the Ctrl-V is a Vim way of writing the Ctrl ^ character and Ctrl-M writes the M after the regular expression, resulting to ^M special character) /\r/ with new line (\r) g And do it globally … Read more
DOS inherited CR-LF line endings (what you’re calling \r\n, just making the ascii characters explicit) from CP/M. CP/M inherited it from the various DEC operating systems which influenced CP/M designer Gary Kildall. CR-LF was used so that the teletype machines would return the print head to the left margin (CR = carriage return), and then … Read more
