I'm trying to read a file with entries seperated by '\n\n' (empty line),

File.readLine(KeepTerminator, Terminator) might work, as it seems to
accept strings as terminators, since there seems to have been a thread
regarding '\r\n' seperators.
I don't know if there's some underlying reason, but when I try to use
"\n\n" as a terminator, I end up getting the entire file into 1 char[],
so it's not delimited.
Should this work or is there a reason one cannot use byLine like this?
For context, I'm trying this with the puzzle input of day 6 of this
year's advent of code. (https://adventofcode.com/)
Are you on Windows? If so, your double newlines might be \r\n\r\n,
depending on what editor you used to create the input. Use a hexdump
program to see what the newlines are in your input file.
Now, you would think that the underlying C stream would do this for you.
I'm not sure how it works exactly, as I don't use Windows.
