It's not that \r was appended to the if clause, it is that the value of the _PAGESIZE variable is: 'NONE\r'
as opposed to this: NONE\r How that variable gets that value assigned to it is unknown, since you don't show that section of the code.

And how can I change this code to make this a valid compare. If needed, I will be happy to provide more information.
