Text Editor which shows r n

Question

I m looking for a text editor that can show me the actual carriage returns and newlines   E g  if I save this string   This rIs r nA nString   Instead of showing  This Is A String   I m looking for some text editor which will show  This rIs r nA nString   I believe a problem with my text-file parsing in a certain program is being caused by inconsistent newline carriage return both on the ends of lines   I could just make a program which can read a file and display it with that formatting  but I figured it d be easier if anyone knew of one that can already do it   Thanks    EDIT  Forgot to specify I m on Windows  and installing Cygwin isn t really an option   Otherwise I would use vi or vim  Also  if there s a way to do this in PSPad  which is already installed  it would be awesome if you knew that too   Thanks

SciTE does that very well with a single keystroke. It is also able to detect the most probably current line ending of the file (in case of mixed lines) and to convert them.
No need to install, lightweight, it can be used as a tool even if you don't want to give up your favorite editor.

With Notepad    you can show end-of-line characters  It shows CR and LF  instead of   r  and   n   but it gets the point across  However  it will still insert the line breaks  But you do get to see the line-ending characters   To use Notepad   for this  open the View menu  open the Show Symbols slide out  and select either  Show all characters  or  Show end-of-line characters
