- Method Detail
  - asSeparator
```
NewlineProcessor asSeparator()
```
    Interprets this type of newline as a line separator.
    Two ways to view newlines, both of which are self-consistent, are that newlines either separate lines or that they terminate lines.
    If a newline is considered a separator, there will be no newline after the last line of a file. Some programs have problems processing the last line of a file if it is not terminated by a newline. On the other hand, programs that expect newline to be used as a separator will interpret a final newline as starting a new (empty) line.
    Conversely, if a newline is considered a terminator, all text lines including the last are expected to be terminated by a newline. If the final character sequence in a text file is not a newline, the final line of the file may be considered to be an improper or incomplete text line, or the file may be considered to be improperly truncated.
    
    Returns:
    
    A newline processor that interprets this type of newline as a line separator.
