How can I replace all instances of a newline character ASCII code (13) in a string with "\r\n"?
Any help would be appreciated.

\n means new line. It means that the cursor must go to the next line. \r means carriage return. It means that the cursor should go back to the beginning of the line.
The ASCII character code 10 is sometimes written as \n and it is sometimes called a New Line or NL . ASCII character 10 is also called a Line Feed or LF .
The \r metacharacter matches carriage return characters.
The newline character is \n in JavaScript and many other languages. All you need to do is add \n character whenever you require a line break to add a new line to a string.
You can use this to do it...
str = str.replace(new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(13), 'g'), '\r\n');
Naturally, if you don't need to pass a variable to get the char code (or if it's not clearer), use the character in a regex literal, e.g. /\r/g.
