Is there a cross platform newline?

[unborn fable]

So I don't have to bake in this

like I know there is std.fs.path.delimiter

[kind shell]

you can just make a utility constant, I'm fairly certain the only difference between platforms is that windows uses \r\n

[unborn fable]

yeah windows uses \r\n

[kind shell]

yea I'd just do that

looks like std.log.* just uses \n in all cases, so I doubt there's anything in the standard library

[unborn fable]

i mean it's console

in files it's different

im tokenizing a file

windows can also have only \n tho...

[kind shell]

if you're tokenising a file then I'd just have an optional \r before each \n

don't do it based on the platform

[unborn fable]

how do I do that lol

[kind shell]

I don't know how you're tokenising the file so I can't say

[unborn fable]

std.mem.tokenize

i mean I can probably just ignore \r...

[kind shell]

yeah or that

[unborn fable]

i'll just have to make sure then it does not get into a hash map lol

yeah but thx

std.mem.tokenizeAny(u8, buffer, &std.ascii.whitespace)

[kind shell]

not all whitespace necessarily can be used as a delimeter

and also I think that would split twice on each newline on windows, like "a\r\nb" -> "a", "", "b"

[edgy agate]

that's split, tokenize skips empty

[kind shell]

fair enough

[edgy agate]

std.mem.tokenizeAny(u8, buffer, "\r\n") should handle all three newline variants

[plush shadow]

ah true, should be only these two, not all whitespace

[edgy agate]

it's not really correct to hardcode an os-specific sequence when reading - there's no guarantee a file on that os will follow that convention
