New Line

Often we forget what code we need to use to create a new line (line break), hopefully this will help.

• n = CR (Carriage Return)
  • Used as a new line character in Unix
• r = LF (Line Feed)
  • Used as a new line character in Mac OS
• nr = CR + LF
  • Used as a new line character in Windows
• (char)13 = n = CR
  • Same as n
• Environment.NewLine
  • Any of the above code based on the operating system

Write-Output "`r`nLine 1"
Write-Output "`r`nLine 2"
Write-Output "`r`nLine 3"
