Just tried to grab the lines in a text file on Windows using Julia Version
0.3.0-prerelease+1570 with the following code:
lines = open("test.cut","r") do fid
readchomp(fid)
end
lines came back to be a single string with embeded "\r\n" characters. I
had expected to get an array of strings without any trailing carriage
returns/newlines. Looking in the Julia source code I see that only '\n' is
checked for.
I work in an environment where we freely intermix Linux-style
('\n'-terminated) and Windows-style ("\r\n"-terminated) files. Most of our
other tools work transparently with either file type, without any explicit
need for conversion.
Are there any plans to make Julia's utility functions such as chomp(),
readchomp(), etc., be able to handle these various line ending conventions?
Thanks,
