Subject: Re: How to "find" new lines

Damir, to know if a string is exactly a newline, please simply use ==:

   if str == "\n"
     ...
   end

There are indirect ways to get the same result, you can also go from
Barcelona to Paris via New York, but a straight line is nicer.

Please people stop suggesting regexps for this simple problem.
