New line character in Scala

Question

Is there a shorthand for a new line character in Scala? In Java (on Windows) I usually just use \"\\n\", but that doesn\'t seem to work in Scala - specifically

Answer 1

If you're sure the file's line separator in the one, used in this OS, you should do the following:

s.replaceAll(System.lineSeparator, "")

Elsewhere your regex should detect the following newline sequences: "\n" (Linux), "\r" (Mac), "\r\n" (Windows):

s.replaceAll("(\r\n)|\r|\n", "")

The second one is shorter and, I think, is more correct.
