The resume of possible duplicate is using regex does allow you to ignore the OS you're using:

I don't think you really need to do much of any determining, though. If you just want to split the text on newlines, you could do something like this:

lines = foo.value.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/g);

In your case:

var splittedValues = originalTxt.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/g);

Please see the below code :

var str=document.getElementById('nwline').value;

var lines = str.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/g);

console.log(lines);
