This means that reading a Windows based text file, with CRLF as
line endings, the returned lines will have a trailing CR (char 13).

I can not reproduce this problem.

Everything works as expected on Windows.

Here’s my test code:

localCR=string.char(13)
localLF=string.char(10)
localfunctionwritefile(name,content)
localf=io.open(name,"w")
f:write(content)
f:close()
end
locallines={--"*L"result:
"1234567890"..LF,--1line,11bytes
"1234567890"..LF..CR..LF,--2lines,11bytes+2bytes
"1234567890"..CR..LF,--1line,12bytes
"1234567890"..CR..LF..LF,--2lines,12bytes+1byte
"1234567890"--1line,10bytes
}
lines=table.concat(lines)
writefile("test.txt",lines)
