Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way in my Java application to know what
characters are used in the cariage return of text files on the machine the
application works. Is is 13, 10? Is it 10? is it 13? How can I find this?

Thanks for your input.

Francois

There's a property you can access: System.getProperty("line.separator");
