Fun with ASCII, part 0x65
\r = carriage return = sets the cursor at the beginning of the row
\n = line feed = begins a new line
(By your powers combined, I am Captain Carriage Return And New Line!)
\r\n in a windows system is the character combination that gives you a new
line to write to. This is different in *nix based system, where only \n is
needed, the \r is implied. And just to make it fun, this is also different
in a Mac system, where only \r is needed and \n is implied.
So in total we have three different and fun ways for presenting a new line:
\r\n in Windows
\n in *nix
\r in Mac
This of course is a great way to create confusion and anger.
