==use of newline==
Not all operating system's file structure use an imbedded ''newline''.   Some use a metastructure.   Are programs (solutions) supposed to insert a bogus character at the end-of-line for those cases? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 
The same is true of a ''tab'' character.   How a tab character is treated can be changed (or nullified) in some operating systems, and also application programs. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 
This task seems to be ASCII-centric.   Tab characters are different in an ASCII system vs. an EBCDIC system. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
