Research direction

Start by locating the file-reading and line-splitting logic described in the issue. Verify how CRLF, CR, and LF inputs are handled, including newline characters inside strings; done means supported line endings no longer cause parsing failures.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now only Unix line endings are supported. I need to convert all \r\n into \n and then all \r into \n.

Right now it explodes the file on every \n, but if a \n occurs in a string it shouldn’t. Should read the file by line instead maybe.
