Do line endings differ between Windows and Linux? [closed]
From Wikipedia:
- LF: Multics, Unix and Unix-like systems (GNU/Linux, AIX, Xenix, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, etc.), BeOS, Amiga, RISC OS, and others
- CR+LF: DEC RT-11 and most other early non-Unix, non-IBM OSes, CP/M, MP/M, DOS, OS/2, Microsoft Windows, Symbian OS
- CR: Commodore machines, Apple II family, Mac OS up to version 9 and OS-9
I translate this into these line endings in general:
- Windows:
'\r\n' - Mac (OS 9-):
'\r' - Mac (OS 10+):
'\n' - Unix/Linux:
'\n'
You need to make your scanner/parser handle the unix version, too.
The scanner is breaking at the spaces.
EDIT: The 'Scanning' Java Tutorial states:
By default, a scanner uses white space to separate tokens. (White space characters include blanks, tabs, and line terminators. For the full list, refer to the documentation for Character.isWhitespace.)
You can use the useDelimiter() method to change these defaults.
