Mixed Line Endings
Check whether a text file mixes LF, CRLF, and CR line endings and create an LF-normalized copy when a consistent newline style is useful.

Mixed line endings are a portability warning, not automatic corruption
A readable text file can contain more than one newline convention. Many editors handle this correctly, but scripts, version-control workflows, linters, and importers can behave differently.
Some lines behave differently in scripts
A script that assumes one newline convention can treat mixed CRLF, LF, or CR boundaries inconsistently.
Version-control diffs look larger than expected
Line-ending changes can make unchanged text appear modified when tools normalize newline bytes differently.
The text itself is still readable
Mixed line endings usually do not mean the characters are damaged, so ARADURU reports a portability warning instead of a corruption claim.
How ARADURU checks this text problem
Decode the file first so newline bytes are interpreted as text.
Count CRLF sequences separately before counting remaining LF and CR sequences.
Report a mixed profile only when more than one newline convention is actually present.
Offer an LF-normalized copy while preserving the original file.
How to interpret the match level
ARADURU found concrete text-encoding or newline evidence that can directly explain the selected problem.
ARADURU found relevant text portability evidence, but editor, script, importer, or destination requirements can also matter.
The current text checks did not reveal an obvious match for this problem. Continue with application-specific syntax or destination troubleshooting.
What this check cannot prove
ARADURU can identify and normalize newline characters, but it cannot know which line-ending convention every destination requires. LF is a common portable choice, not a universal application requirement.
Common questions about this text problem
Are mixed line endings a corrupted file?
Usually no. They are a text portability and workflow issue. The file can remain fully readable while using more than one newline convention.
What does the ARADURU Safe Fix change?
It creates a separate copy where CRLF, LF, and CR line endings are normalized to LF. The original file stays unchanged.
Will every application prefer LF?
No. Many modern tools accept LF, but destination requirements can differ. Use the normalized copy only when LF is appropriate for your workflow.
