      Does windows add an extra character at the end that gets converted to new line on linux? Because the other day I were copying a script and after pasting it an extra line was added after every single line, even the empty lines.

      how it looked when I copied it:

      bla
      bla
      
      bla
      

      what it turned into:

      bla
      
      bla
      
      
      
      bla

        Windows uses CR LF (carriage return, line feed), whereas Unix just uses LF. For added fun, macs use CR.

          This used to be true, for sure, but I thought this changed with OS X (which is essentially PrettyBSD) ?

            You’re right. Notepad++ still lists macs as using CR for their EOL conversion tool, so I didn’t realize.
