Method Prototype	Description
Function EndOfLine() As EndOfLine	return the standard EndOfLine instance

The EndOfLine class represents line breaks, including all major platforms as well as line breaks used by HTTP and HTML. It includes comparison and conversion operators so that you can use it like a string (in which case it represents the HTTP line break). Or, you can explicitly call out type of line ending you want, as EndOfLine.Unix for example.

Although EndOfLine is a class, there is a global function (also called EndOfLine) that returns a static instance of that class. This means that you never need to explicitly declare and instantiate EndOfLine; instead, just refer to it via this global function, like so:


See the ReplaceLineEndings function for a convenient way to replace all line endings in a block of text.
