issues with string.scan(/./)[resolved]

[Kingdom Ablaze]

if i use string.scan(/./) on the following "\12\17\a\n\17" <- previously unpacked with string.unpack('C')

it will return ["\12", "\17", "\a", "\17"] it removes the "\n" thinking its a new line(im guessing) i need the returned array to include the "\n" like: ["\12", "\17", "\a", "\n", "\17"]


i hope that makes sense, can anyone help me?

Regexp dot don't match breaklines by default.
try using string.scan(/./m)
