| Nov 19, 2015 at 10:33 | comment | added | Ravi | ^M signifies what? CR (\r) sequence or LF (\n) sequence? I read in a book: at one place it was written, ^M represents CR (\r) sequence. In the same book at other place it was written ^M signifies the Enter key and in Linux Enter key is LF sequence. | |
