a = ['==\r**', '==\n**', '==\r\n**', '==\u0085**', '==\u000b**', '==\u000c**', '==\u2028**', '==\u2029**'] for e in a: print(e.splitlines()) ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] ['==', '**'] Do not confuse these NLF's (new line functions) in the Unicode terminology, with the end of line *symbols* (pilcrow, \u2424, ...) I'm always and still be suprised by the number of hard coded '\n' one can find in Python code when the portable (here win) >>> os.linesep '\r\n' exists. jmf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
