That's really interesting... I ran this code bellow. Then I made two files, one in Linux's nano editor, and the other in Notepad. I use FileRead to load them into variables and then called RegExMatch on them. One gave me "abc", and the other gave "abc <<new line>> def".
Code:
RegExMatch("abc`ndef", ".*", M)
MsgBox %M%
RegExMatch("abc`r`ndef", ".*", M)
MsgBox %M%


When you open those files in a (non-notepad) editor it looks the same. Both files will appear like this.

Quote:
abc
def


Wouldn't it make more sense to normalise input from files and the like? In python everything is loaded as one kind of line endings, but if you want the original you can read the file as binary. Or ANYCRLF could be the default for RegExMatch/Replace, but that's not as good as changing it at the source.

Yes, since alpha 22. It had been omitted from the changelog in the v2 thread, though. I've corrected that.

Thanks, that's 4 (or more) things I learned from this thread.
