    No cookie for you. "\n" is the Unix line ending, which Linux-based systems just happen to follow. Also, the '^M' tends to be the common way of showing "\r" in most Unix applications, not just vi.

      It *is* the linux line ending though. It's *also* the unix one, but that doesn't mean it's not the linux one. And yes, not just vi, laziness, etc.
