TextFile :: lineBreak - Line breake sequence

Text file access uses different characters for separating lines in Windows and Linux operating systems. Usually, line breaks are used according to the system conventions. In order to use different line break characters (e.g. Linux line breaks under Windows), default line break characters may be defined as top level option or environment variable DefaultLineBreak.

The property contains a sequence of characters to be written at end of line. Usually, the line break sequence is \n for Linux and \r\n for Windows. In order to use different line break characters (e.g. Linux line breaks under Windows), line break characters may be set by application.

Return value:  String value ( odaba::String & )
