Subject: Simple regexp: Matching CRLF in a Windows file

All,

I'm trying to do subs on CRLF in a Windows file, but I'm having a time 
of it trying to get the regexp working.

I am sure that I have a text file with Windows newlines (CRLF) embedded 
in it

This doesn't work:

newline = "\C-J\C-M"
puts IO.read(@document.path) =~ /#{newline}/

This doesn't work:

newline = "\n\r"
puts IO.read(@document.path) =~ /#{newline}/

Do I need to escape the control characters somehow so that I can match 
on them?

I'm assuming it's possible to use control characters in a regexp.

Thanks,
Wes
