Re: How to I modify what is a new line in lines?

You were close! First, you were looking at the docs for Path's "lines", but you are using a string "lines" and those docs say multi method lines(Str:D: $limit, :$chomp = True) multi method lines(Str:D: :$chomp = True) Files get "nl-in" due to the special case of text files having various line

Hi All, https://docs.raku.org/type/IO::Path#method_lines method lines(IO::Path:D: :$chomp = True, :$enc = 'utf8', :$nl-in = ["\x0A", "\r\n"], |c --> Seq:D) How do I change what lines sees as a new line. Is it :$nl-in? A tab in this case. Some of my missteps: $ p6 'my $x="a\tb\tc\td\t";
