random newline character

[elChapoSing]

Why is paparse limiting the newline character to only \r, \n and \r\n ?
To simplify communication between OSes, I have gotten into the habit of delimiting new lines with other characters than the actual new lines characters.

I ended up doing a regex replace before going through papaparse but that strikes me as inefficient...

You can use the newLine config option to specify any newline you wan't.

 let a = Papa.parse("a,b,c#1,2,3",
                {
                    newline: "#",
                    header: true,
                    dynamicTyping: true
                }
            );
a
"{"data":[],"errors":[],"meta":{"delimiter":",","linebreak":"\n","aborted":false,"truncated":false,"cursor":11,"fields":["a","b","c#1","2","3"]}}"

line 1411 in papaparse.js

// Newline must be valid: \r, \n, or \r\n
if (newline !== '\n' && newline !== '\r' && newline !== '\r\n')
   newline = '\n';

@pokoli what am I missing here ?

Ups, I've missed the line @elChapoSing commented. So I think we should remove the newLine validation to accept any character.
