Not from the stated problem, it isn't. And again, your regex replaces
multiple \r\n or \n strings with a single one - eliminating any double
spacing the original op may want.

I really don't think a regex is appropriate for something this simple.
But if he does have \r also, it's a simple matter to:

1) replace all "\r\n" with "\n"
2) replace all "\r" with "\n"
3) replace all "\n" with "\r\n"

It maintains double spacing if required, and is faster than a regex.
