\n and \n\r

What a fuckton of issues those two characters brought me today while attempting to verify a signed file.

    \n\r is not used anywhere.

    Narrator: And even in a rant the characters \r and \n still gave OP trouble.

    CRLF is the only correct line terminator.

    Generally fuck backslashes.
    Took me like two hours of editing escaped JSON so that it would put a String variable value in there.

    @dontbeevil \r\n is only used in text-protocols like http and smtp and Windows-files. \n is used in unix, linux and newer macos. \r is used in older macos-versions.

    Ever export to CSV and hit \r\n in what should be an unquoted string? What about a \t or even more rare \v. Sometimes there is a \0 and things go boom.

    @bkwilliams \0 is an adversary's best friend, people should know this already, it's only been a used trick for... 30 years or more?
