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

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
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’);
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 line feed means moving one line forward. The code is \n.A carriage return means moving the cursor to the beginning of the line. The code is \r. Windows editors often still use the combination of both as \r\n in text files. Unix uses mostly only the \n. The separation comes from typewriter times, when … Read more
Run following command in terminal sed -i -e ‘s/\r$//’ scriptname.sh Then try ./scriptname.sh It should work.
Unix uses 0xA for a newline character. Windows uses a combination of two characters: 0xD 0xA. 0xD is the carriage return character. ^M happens to be the way vim displays 0xD (0x0D = 13, M is the 13th letter in the English alphabet). You can remove all the ^M characters by running the following: :%s/^M//g … Read more
dos2unix is a commandline utility that will do this, or :%s/^M//g will if you use Ctrl–v Ctrl–m to input the ^M, or you can :set ff=unix and Vim will do it for you. There is documentation on the fileformat setting, and the Vim wiki has a comprehensive page on line ending conversions. Alternately, if you … Read more
As Nishant already pointed out in the comments, you’ve found a bug here. This bug initially was reported in 2004 (>9 years ago!?!!) and this bug seems not to be fixed very soon (or ever). I tested it on several Eclipse version, even on Eclipse Juno SR2, and the bug is still there.
Try using java -Dline.separator=$’\n’. That should do the trick, at least in bash. Here is a test-run: aioobe@r60:~/tmp$ cat Test.java public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(“\”” + System.getProperty(“line.separator”) + “\””); } } aioobe@r60:~/tmp$ javac Test.java && java -Dline.separator=$’\n’ Test ” ” aioobe@r60:~/tmp$ Note: The expression $” uses the Bash feature … Read more
