\r is carriage return
\n is line feed
There are three standards for line endings:
carriage return (Mac OS 9)
line feed (Unix)
carriage return followed by line feed (DOS, Windows)
Since Mac OS X apps are usually good at handling all three types of
line endings, you probably want \r\n, but a simple \n will usually
suffice as well. You should probably never use \r, as that is
basically a legacy of Mac OS 9 only.
