How It Works
How the Line Break Counter Works
Our line break counter analyzes text character by character to identify different line ending formats:
- CRLF Detection: Identifies Windows-style \r\n sequences
- LF Detection: Finds Unix/Linux/Mac \n characters
- CR Detection: Locates classic Mac \r characters
- Format Analysis: Provides percentage breakdown and recommendations
- Statistics: Counts total lines, breaks, and empty line occurrences
The tool handles mixed formats and provides detailed reporting for code cleanup and formatting standardization.
When You Might Need This

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between CRLF, LF, and CR line endings?
CRLF (\r\n) is used by Windows, LF (\n) is used by Unix/Linux/Mac, and CR (\r) was used by classic Mac systems. Our tool detects and counts all three formats automatically.
Why does my text show mixed line ending formats?
Mixed formats occur when files are edited on different operating systems or when copying text from various sources. This can cause version control and formatting issues, so our tool helps identify these inconsistencies.
How does the line break counter handle empty lines?
Empty lines are counted as part of the total line structure. You can choose to include or exclude them in the analysis. Empty lines still contain line break characters that separate text sections.
Can I use this tool for large text files and code documents?
Yes, the line break counter efficiently processes large text inputs including code files, documentation, logs, and data files. It provides detailed breakdown by line ending format type.
Will this tool help standardize my code formatting for version control?
Absolutely! The tool identifies mixed line endings that can cause git and other version control issues. It shows you exactly which formats are present so you can normalize them appropriately.
