Re^2: Native newline encoding

And what happens when the OP tries to use that information to process the line endings in this text file?

Oh dear!

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

And what happens when the OP tries to use that information to process the line endings in this text file? Why are you assuming he would? Or even that he would use it to process any line endings? He didn't say that's what his intention was. He just asked about how to find that information. Microsoft and you might want to try to hide that info but I don't see the point. And I do see reasons why one might want to get it. `-sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";`	[reply]

Why are you assuming he would? Or even that he would use it to process any line endings? He didn't say that's what his intention was. So, your assumption is that he's not going to use the information; just discover it and then what? Impress his users with it. Microsoft and you might want to try to hide that info Oh dear. Hide information that is common knowledge; and has been common knowledge for what? 30 years or more. Man, I thought you were better than this, but you've really lost the plot.

So, your assumption is that he's not going to use the information; just discover it and then what? No, I'm not making an assumption. You were assuming he was going to use it to process line endings. I've already pointed out that the information could be used in other ways. Hide information that is common knowledge Are you being purposefully obtuse? This doesn't seem like the BrowserUk I know. The point was that you are succumbing to a certain detrimental philosophy: there are things you just don't need to know, don't worry about them, let ~~other people~~ the OS handle it for you. The OP asked a straightforward question. I answered it. And your response is to say it shouldn't be answered. I can't pretend to respect that way of thinking. Or avoidance thereof. `-sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";`	[reply]
