Subject: Re: \r\n for EOL in windows?

Only in disk. When you work in text mode the I/O layer transforms from native to \n back and forth transparently.

Regarding $, as your tests suggest, it only matches (an optional) \n.

Google "Understanding Newlines", it is an article in ONLamp that has examples in Perl, but it applies to Ruby.
