"enter" in script labels in Mac vs. Windows

[_andrea_laue_]

Sorry -- I pressed "enter" instead of tab in my initial post. Here's my question:

I'm processing multi-line script labels using carriage returns and/or line feeds as delimiters. However, I'm having trouble writing a script that works on both Mac and Win machines.

Looking at exported INX files, it looks like the "enter" key is represented by different characters on different platforms:

Mac:
Windows:

Does this match others' experience and/or knowledge?

Can one test for platform in a JS, and behave accordingly?

Thanks,
Andrea

So far, carriage returns isn't defined by "\r" ?

Yes, but when doing text file IO, that can be remapped to '\r\n' on Windows,
'\n' on Unix, and left as '\r' on the Mac.

Try this :
app.selection[0].contents="\u000D"
//Unicode character for carriage return
