Is kotlin readText() should take care of newline on different os?

readText will do just that, read the text, so if it reads different line endings than the host OS it won't bother differentiating

however, kotlin lineSequence is a different story: it will split lines even with mixed line endings (CR, LF, or CR): https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/line-sequence.html

you might also take a look at useLines, forEachLine, and readLines for files
