Hey, the `-quotes denote a "raw string literal". Escape-sequences in raw string literals are not interpreted - that's basically their purpose. So `t2` contains the literal two-byte sequence `\n`. You can see that in the output of `fmt.Println`, the newline is a 10, but t2 does not contain a 10, but a 92 ("\") and 110 ("n") instead.
If you want a raw string literal to contain an actual line-break, you have to put a line-break (not a line-break escape sequence) into it: https://play.golang.org/p/9DYfkVDk5RC Hope that helps On Fri, Aug 21, 2020 at 6:01 PM 'Guilherme Dalmarco' via golang-nuts < golang-nuts@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Why *bytes.IndexByte *can not find '\n' in multiline string? > > package main > > import ( > "bytes" > "fmt" > ) > > func main() { > t1 := []byte("TEST\n") > t2 := []byte(`TEST\n`) > t3 := byte('\n') > > fmt.Println(t1) > fmt.Println(t2) > fmt.Println(t3) > > fmt.Println(bytes.IndexByte(t1, t3)) > fmt.Println(bytes.IndexByte(t2, t3)) > } > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/925e3a5a-0775-44a4-8428-42b077a6be1dn%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/925e3a5a-0775-44a4-8428-42b077a6be1dn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
