Newlines counting as 2 characters?

[CapsuleCorpJX]

Ok here is my problem. Newlines are typically two characters, \r\n (carriage return, line feed).

The problem is the VB6 XML class I'm using(MSXML2.DOMDocument40) counts \r\n as two characters, while every other XML App/parser seem to count it as one char.

Is there a way to have it consider \r\n as one character long?

The newlines invalidates some of the XML files I recieve because it bumps it over the size limit by 1.

If you're talking about msxml2's dom parser, I think it conforms well with the recommendation by collapsing (os-dependent) \r\n to \n.
