Questions tagged [eol]

EOL is short for "end of line". In text files each line is terminated with characters such as linefeed or carriage return or a combination thereof.

EOL stands for "end of line" and refers to the various character or combination of characters that signify the end of each line of a text-based file.

For historical reasons there are various common EOLs:

  • linefeed or newline, ASCII 0x0A: common on systems with Unix heritage including Mac OS X
  • carriage return + linefeed, ASCII 0x0D 0x0A: common on systems with Microsoft DOS and Windows heritage and in text-based internet protocols
  • carriage return, ASCII 0x0D: used on Apple Macintosh up to System 7

These differences can present problems when using files and source code on multiple operating systems. Issues may be encountered with text editors, compilers, and revision controls systems.

Is there a way to set EOL to LF in Visual Studio for whole solution or project?

In Visual Studio you can set file's EOL to CRLF, LF, or CR, however you can do it only to a single file. I'm looking for a way that will make sure that every new file made in my solution will automatically use LF. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
