PHP Code: $txt = preg_replace('/\r\n|\r/', "\n", $txt);

Another way to write that PCRE pattern is /\r\n?/ (one carriage return followed by zero or one linefeed). I recall also running into \n\r although I can't recall which system uses it. As an alternative to PCRE, we can pass arrays to PHP's replace functions, e.g.:

        $txt = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n\r", "\r"), "\n", $txt);
