ASCII character 13

I will be supplied a file of names delimited by the ASCII character 13.
I know in AppleScript I would set this :

set cr to ASCII character 13

How do I refer or set this in java. I figure I can read the file in an
use a StringTokenizer to go through the file to pull the names but how
do I refer to ASCII character 13 as the delimiter.

Thanks,
Rich

Sounds like an old-school mac textfile.

Generally, you don't. Throw a BufferedReader at that puppy, and readLine() to
your heart's content!

The javadoc for java.io.BufferedReader.readLine says:
A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a
carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a
linefeed.

This means it'll do the right thing with textfiles from unix, mac, or dos.
