Carriage return (/r) missing when encoding and decoding a string using c#

-1

I have the following string :

This is the string to

test carriage return

using c#

The above string has two carriage returns in the end of lines. I have to encode this string to pass to a WCF service and then decode the string for further process.

//TO ENCODE

            byte bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(rawstring);

            string encodedStr = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);





//TO DECODE

            byte rawUtf8EncodedData = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(encodedstring);

            string decodedStr =  Encoding.UTF8.GetString(rawUtf8EncodedData);

After Encoding I get the below string :

This is the string tontest carriage returnnusing c#

After Decoding I get the below string :

This is the string tontest carriage returnnusing c#

Problem is, I need the carriage return back for some reason and not the n in my string after decoding. How can I achieve this ? The above string is only for illustration and in actual string, there would be lots of carriage returns and symbols

If you are viewing the strings in the debugger, it will show you n instead of a carriage return. Try outputting the string to the console or a log file and see if the carriage returns are there.

I am using this string to do some logic, which will fail if n is there. It requires a carriage return to work. And right now it fails, because n is present in the raw string.

Where do you "have the following string"? Line ends can be encoded in a variety of ways

Just tested (to be sure). Inserting rn or r or n, all are returned as the original. What do you mean with [the] string has two carriage returns? Are you extracting this string from a RichTextBox, maybe?.

This is wrong:

byte bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(rawstring);

string encodedStr = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

The first line gets bytes using the Default encoding. On .Net Core it's UTF-8 and you're likely okay, but on Windows it's the system code page from the OS, which could be anything.

The second line of code then treats those bytes as if they are already in UTF-8 format, regardless of you what you actually got. This might work for a lot of strings, but eventually it's gonna fail spectacularly. Morever, the result is still a .Net string, which is the Unicode (UTF-16) encoding internally... so what you end up with is still UTF-16, not UTF-8.

If you need to send a UTF-8 string to a network service, get the UTF-8 bytes using Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(), and send the bytes as if they were a string.

Definitely. This conversion will not fail for a very limited sub-set of characters. Depending on the Local Encoding, possibly none. Outside these limited CodePoints, you get garbage.
