cannot handle macintosh end-of-line

[jacek]

Then maybe std::getline() will do?

I'll have a look at it, thanks.

Answer from someone on qt-interest mailing list :

Unfortunately, this is a known bug. But the Trolls do not seem to care that
the Mac folk have lots of old text files to read. (The line ending on Mac OS
X is now LF, not CR.)

You will have to implement your own readLine, or fix Qt's.

Of course, the _right_ way is to check for LF, CR, or LF/CR for every line.
Making any assumptions based on the platform or first line is dangerous.
(For instance, Visual Studio will create mixed line ending files when you
edit a different line ending type than the default. Edited lines will have
the default, but other lines retain the original.)

This has been a problem for years that is so easily solved. I fail to
understand why some developers still try to force everyone else to use their
line ending choice. It is such a Microsoft attitude.
