CRLF

Type

constant

Summary

Equivalent to a carriage return (ASCII 13, Control-M) followed by a line feed (ASCII 10, Control-J).

Syntax

CRLF

Description

Use the CRLF constant as an easier-to-read substitute for numToChar(13) & numToChar(10).

The CRLF constant is needed because you can't type the characters it represents in a script.

• The standard end-of-line delimiter on Unix systems is the line feed character (lf).
• The end-of-line delimiter for Mac OS systems is a carriage return (cr).
• The end-of-line delimiter for Windows systems is a carriage return followed by a line feed (crlf).
