Get platform specific end of line character in C++/Qt

Question

Is there anything for getting right end-of-line symbol for any platform? I mean, I can use \\n for Windows and Unix if I want to write EOL to file, but there is

Answer 1

Try

QString::split(QRegularExpression{R"-((\r\n?|\n))-"})

This uses a C++11 raw string literal to create a regex that matches all three possibilities:

• CR only (Mac)
• CR+LF (Win)
• LF (Unix)

If you can not use C++11, you will have to manually escape the regex:

"(\\r\\n?|\\n)"

That should do the trick.
