Summary

0002050: input_line keeps ending \013

Description

Full_Name: Mattias
Version: 3.07#2
OS: Mandrake 8.2
Submission from: c-44dd71d5.09-253-7570701.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se (213.113.221.68)

I switch between cygwin and linux. I had to write my own input_line that removes
final \013.

I assume this is a crlf/lf-problem. I didn't have this problem in 3.06, but I
guess it depends on where the file was created, so maybe the case didn't occur
earlier.

(** input_line but remove final '\013' which
  occurs if files are created on Windows *)
let my_input_line ic =
  let str = input_line ic in
  if str.[String.length str - 1] = '\013' then
    String.sub str 0 (String.length str - 1)
  else
    str ;;

Usually, the best solution is to write your program to ignore all CR characters in its input. But it would be a bug for the standard library to do that on all inputs. input_line has no business removing arbitrary characters from the input data.
