Normalize newlines in C#

Question

I have a data stream that may contain \\r, \\n, \\r\\n, \\n\\r or any combination of them. Is there a simple way to normalize the data to make all of them simply become \\r

Answer 1

I'm with Jamie Zawinski on RegEx:

"Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I’ll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems"

For those of us who prefer readability:

• Step 1

  Replace \r\n by \n

  Replace \n\r by \n (if you really want this, some posters seem to think not)

  Replace \r by \n

• Step 2 Replace \n by Environment.NewLine or \r\n or whatever.
