Hi,

I want to split a String s loaded from a text file at the carriage return, like this:

Vector<String>	getLines(String s) {	// new line at \n
	Vector<String> vs;
	vs = Split(s.Begin(), '\n', true); // split by lines
	return vs;	
}

From Perl I'm used to do something like:

@list = split /\n/, $many_lines_of_text;

which finds all '\n' in the string $many_lines_of_text and puts it into a list.

It looks like U++ treats the carriage return as two separate characters, i.e. '\r\n'. When I split in U++ at '\n' or when I split at '\r' the other character is left over, leading to trouble.

What I would have to do is:

	vs = Split(s.Begin(), '\r\n', true); // split by lines

which obviously leads to trouble.

What's the correct way to do it in U++ ?

Thanks and kind regards,
Micha
