Line breaks not counted as 2 characters towards the length of a string
<p>I am wondering why \n is not counted as 2 characters when determining the length of a string in C# </p>

<p>EX:
This is a test comment\nSample text test 123456\nadssssssssss\n\nasdasdasda\nasdadadadad\nasadad\nasada\n\n\nLast paragraph\n12345\nTest</p>

<p>The above string contains 136 characters, but the Length property of the String object I store the string in counts \n as 1 chartacter, and reports the string as 124 characters long.</p>

<p>I want to extract a substring based on pre calculated start and lenght markers. The markers were created counting \n as two characters.
How could I do the equivilent of the following in C#</p>

<pre><code>select SUBSTRING('This is a test comment\nSample text test 123456\nadssssssssss\n\nasdasdasda\nasdadadadad\nasadad\nasada\n\n\nLast paragraph\n12345\nTest',1,136);
</code></pre>

<p>I can't use substring since my lenght offset of 136 is outside the boundaries of the c# representation of the string.</p>
