I wrote the source code on windows with a source file with \r\n
file endings.
But the console output has only the character X0a. In addition
not the content of tmp is shown but the full content with the
slice information [4..10].
Is this the intended behavior?
The escape sequence says it's hex, and 0a translates to 10, and
0d is 13; \r\n is usually a 13,10 sequence. So from the looks of
it the \r is getting stripped out.
Funny story as i understand it, \r and \n both have very
specific meanings to old printers in the old days. \r for
carriage-Return, and \n for New-line. DOS may have used it, but
\r more-or-less has no use for newlines and printers today.
Curious when using writeln, all newlines seem to have \r
sequences added. So i suppose it's one of those things that i
never needed to think about really.
