When I send the following query:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Query>
<Query virtualSchemaName="default" count="0"><Dataset
name="mmusculus_snp"><Attribute name="chr_name" /><Attribute
name="chrom_start" /><Filter name="chr_name" value="17" /><Filter
name="chrom_end" value="33527038" /><Filter name="chrom_start"
value="33518969" /></Dataset><Dataset
name="mmusculus_genomic_sequence"><Attribute name="snp"
/></Dataset><Links source="mmusculus_snp"
target="mmusculus_genomic_sequence" defaultLink="snp" /></Query>

to http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?query= the results I get
back are:

17      33519098        
A/G
        
17      33519176        
A/G
        
etc, etc.

So, I'm getting

"17"/t"33519098"/t/n"A/G"/n/t

but I was expecting

"17"/t"33519098"/t"A/G"/t

Are the extra new line characters correct? I currently process the query
results line by line but maybe this approach is too simplistic.
