Well, if we're being pernickety, it's \n == NL == ASCII 012, \r == CR ==
ASCII 015 (ASCII 010 is TAB!).

However, you also need to be aware that different OSes create files with
line-wndings marked like this:

    \n (NL) on *NIX
    \r\n (CR NL) on Windows
    \r (CR) on Macintosh

This can particularly cause problems where files originate on Mac systems --
I'm not sure whether this also applies to form entries coming from a
Mac-based browser, or whether these are sent using one of the other
representations (anybody?).

Cheers!

Mike
