Комментарии

Значение свойства — это NewLine константа, настроенная специально для текущей платформы и реализация платформа .NET Framework. The property value of NewLine is a constant customized specifically for the current platform and implementation of the .NET Framework. Дополнительные сведения о escape-символах в значении свойства см. в разделе escape-символы. For more information about the escape characters in the property value, see Character Escapes.

Функциональные возможности, предоставляемые, часто называются NewLine символами новой строки, перевода строки, разрыва строки, возврата каретки, CRLF и конца линии. The functionality provided by NewLine is often what is meant by the terms newline, line feed, line break, carriage return, CRLF, and end of line.

NewLine может использоваться в сочетании с поддержкой символов новой строки, например escape-символами \r и \n, в Microsoft C# и C/C++ или vbCrLf в microsoft Visual Basic. NewLine can be used in conjunction with language-specific newline support such as the escape characters ‘\r’ and ‘\n’ in Microsoft C# and C/C++, or vbCrLf in Microsoft Visual Basic.

What is the newline character in the C language: \r or \n?

What is the newline character in C? I know that different OS have different line-ending characters, but they get translated into the C newline character. What is that character?

It’s \n . When you’re reading or writing text mode files, or to stdin/stdout etc, you must use \n , and C will handle the translation for you. When you’re dealing with binary files, by definition you are on your own.

What is the newline character in the C language: \r or \n?

The new-line may be thought of a some char and it has the value of ‘\n’ . C11 5.2.1

This C new-line comes up in 3 places: C source code, as a single char and as an end-of-line in file I/O when in text mode.

Many compilers will treat source text as ASCII. In that case, codes 10, sometimes 13, and sometimes paired 13,10 as new-line for source code. Had the source code been in another character set, different codes may be used. This new-line typically marks the end of a line of source code (actually a bit more complicated here), // comment, and # directives.

In source code, the 2 characters \ and n represent the char new-line as \n . If ASCII is used, this char would have the value of 10.

In file I/O, in text mode, upon reading the bytes of the input file (and stdin), depending on the environment, when bytes with the value(s) of 10 (Unix), 13,10, (*1) (Windows), 13 (Old Mac??) and other variations are translated in to a ‘\n’. Upon writing a file (or stdout), the reverse translation occurs.
Note: File I/O in binary mode makes no translation.

The ‘\r’ in source code is the carriage return char .

(*1) A lone 13 and/or 10 may also translate into \n .

EOL or End of Line or newline ascii character

Learn what are EOL (End of Line) or LF (Line Feed) or NL (New Line) ascii characters (\n\r) and why there are two (\n\r) newline characters.

Which character do you consider as the end of line or newline? Most developers will answer \n (except for front-end developers, they would say: » tag» 😊 ). But this is not true, let’s understand why.

What is an End of Line character:

It is a character in a string which represents a line break, which means that after this character, a new line will start. There are two basic new line characters:

LF (character : \n, Unicode : U+000A, ASCII : 10, hex : 0x0a): This is simply the ‘\n’ character which we all know from our early programming days. This character is commonly known as the ‘Line Feed’ or ‘Newline Character’.

CR (character : \r, Unicode : U+000D, ASCII : 13, hex : 0x0d) : This is simply the ‘r’ character. This character is commonly known as ‘Carriage Return’.

As matter of fact, \r has also has a different meaning. In older printers, \r meant moving the print head back to the start of line and \n meant starting a new line.

OS support

Unix: Unix systems consider ‘\n’ as a line terminator. Unix considers \r as going back to the start of the same line.

Mac (up to 9): Older Mac OSs consider ‘\r’ as a newline terminator but newer OS versions have been made to be more compliant with Unix systems to use ‘\n’ as the newline.

Windows: Windows has a different style of newline, Windows supports the combination of both CR and LF as the newline character — ‘\r\n’.

How to check
There are lots ways to check this. I use Notepad++ as my text editor for this because it is easy to use and is widely used by developers.
NPP show all characters

Open any text file and click on the pilcrow (¶) button. Notepad++ will show all of the characters with newline characters in either the CR and LF format. If it is a Windows EOL encoded file, the newline characters of CR LF will appear (\r\n). If the file is UNIX or Mac EOL encoded, then it will only show LF (\n).

NPP Extended search

Press the key combination of Ctrl + Shift + F and select ‘Extended’ under the search mode. Now search ‘\r\n’ — if you find this at end of every line, it means this is a Windows EOL encoded file. However, if it is ‘\n’ at the end of every line, then it is a Unix or Mac EOL encoded file.

How to convert

Let’s stick with notepad++ for this, too. Open any file that you would like to convert, click on the Edit menu, scroll down to the EOL conversion option, and select the format that you would like to convert the file to.

Is it possible to put a new line character in an echo line in a batch file? [duplicate]

You can do this easily enough in Linux, but I can’t work out how to do it in Windows.

echo. prints an empty line.

20 times slower than echo( and it fails completly when a file exists with the name echo without extension. So echo( is safer and faster – jeb Sep 15 ’14 at 14:21

It can be solved with a single echo.

You need a newline character \n for this. There are multiple ways to get a new line into the echo

1) This sample use the multiline caret to add a newline into the command,
the empty line is required

2) The next solution creates first a variable which contains one single line feed character.

Or create the new line with a slightly modified version

And use this character with delayed expansion

To use a line feed character with the percent expansion you need to create a more complex sequence

Or you can use the New line hack

But only the delayed expansion of the newline works reliable, also inside of quotes.

After a little experimentation I discovered that it is possible to do it without issuing two separate echo commands as described in How can you echo a newline in batch files?. However to make it work you will need a text editor that does not translate CR to CR+LF.

then with NumLock on, hold down the ALT key and type 10 on the numeric keypad before releasing ALT (you must use the numeric keypad, not the top-row number keys). This will insert a CR character. Then type the second line. Depending on your editor and how it handles CR compared with CR+LF you may get:

This works from the command line and will work in a batch file so long as the text editor does not translate CR to CR+LF (which Windows/DOS editors do unless you configure them not to). If the CR is converted to CR+LF, or if you use just LF, the second line is interpreted as a new command.

However, I cannot see why this would be preferable over simply:

How can I echo a newline in a batch file?

How can you you insert a newline from your batch file output?

echo hello & echo.world

This means you could define & echo. as a constant for a newline \n .

Here you go, create a .bat file with the following in it :

You should see output like the following:

You only need the code between the REM statements, obviously.

There is a standard feature echo: in cmd/bat-files to write blank line, which emulates a new line in your cmd-output:

Output of cited above cmd-file:

Like the answer of Ken, but with the use of the delayed expansion.

First a single linefeed character is created and assigned to the \n-variable.
This works as the caret at the line end tries to escape the next character, but if this is a Linefeed it is ignored and the next character is read and escaped (even if this is also a linefeed).
Then you need a third linefeed to end the current instruction, else the third line would be appended to the LF-variable.
Even batch files have line endings with CR/LF only the LF are important, as the CR’s are removed in this phase of the parser.

The advantage of using the delayed expansion is, that there is no special character handling at all.
echo Line1%LF%Line2 would fail, as the parser stops parsing at single linefeeds.

Edit: Avoid echo.

This doesn’t answer the question, as the question was about single echo that can output multiple lines.

But despite the other answers who suggests the use of echo. to create a new line, it should be noted that echo. is the worst, as it’s very slow and it can completly fail, as cmd.exe searches for a file named ECHO and try to start it.

For printing just an empty line, you could use one of

But the use of echo. , echo\ or echo: should be avoided, as they can be really slow, depending of the location where the script will be executed, like a network drive.
