Newline

In computing, a newline, also known as a line ending, end of line (EOL), or line break, is a special character or sequence of characters signifying the end of a line of text.

Description

The actual codes representing a newline vary across operating systems, which can be a problem when exchanging text files between systems with different newline representations.
