✅ Prevent carriage return from being added in the new multi-line string literal?

How to prevent \r from being added in a multi-line string literal?

"""
First Line
Second Line
"""

"""
First Line
Second Line
"""

C# is adding a \r after the \n only in Windows. I know that Windows uses \n\r to indicate new lines, but can i somehow disable that?

C# does no interpretation of the characters inside your string So, if the file literally has \r\n in the text there, that's what you get

I'm not reading a file, i have a multiline string like this

var str = """
          First Line
          Second Line
          """

var str = """
          First Line
          Second Line
          """

And it is adding \n\r after First Line I can prevent this by doing

var str = """
          First Line
          Second Line
          """.Replace("\r", "");

var str = """
          First Line
          Second Line
          """.Replace("\r", "");

But maybe there is a cleaner solution

no like your source file has \r in it for the newlines in the string

StayOP•2y ago

oh that... make sense

Aaron•2y ago

so C# preserves that \r

My bad then, any idea if that can be changed in Rider?

Aaron•2y ago

yeah, should be a button for line endings on the bottom right I think
