What are the matlab equivalent for '\n' '\t' and other escape characters?

Question

I am reading a file using fileread() which returns me the entire file. Now I need to read line by line and convert them into process the data. Can I know how I would be able to detect the newline character in Matlab? I tried '\n' and '\r\n' and it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to put this question as bounty? I need the answer urgently? — , Apr 03 '17 at 06:01
You can just compare with the ASCII codes directly, such as `10` or `13` — Luis Mendo, Apr 03 '17 at 10:33

I already replied here (please avoid posting the question twice)Escape characters in Matlab

For special acharacters either use the char function with the character code (http://www.asciitable.com/) or sprintf (my preferred way for better readability. For example you are looking for sprintf('\n') or sprintf('\r\n')

char(13) is carriage return \r char(10) is new line \n
