splitting strings mac/windows

Unity Engine
1

i have a problem with splitting strings. it seems that its different. text assets work the same but if i read textfiles i do not get the same result with this code:

fileNames : String[]=fileList.Split("\n"[0]);

this works just fine in windows standalone build but it does not mac build file is something like this:

line1 line2 line3

in mac i get one string like this: line1 line2 line3

so how to properly do this?

maybe its something with the text files

Mac and Windows use different characters for line endings (carriage returns), so you might want to check for “\r” as well.

Perhaps something like this (code not tested):

fileList = fileList.Replace("\r\n", "\n");
fileList = fileList.Replace("\r", "\n");
fileNames = fileList.Split("\n"[0]);

You could also do it in one line:

fileNames = fileList.Replace("\r\n", "\n").Replace("\r","\n").Split("\n"[0]);

Ordinarily you should be able to use Environment.NewLine, but there are issues with that apporach.

// NOTE: do not replace the "\r\n" with Environment.NewLine as it will break the code.
string[] fileNames = fileList.Split(new string[] { "\r\n", "\n", "\r" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
