I may be struggling with a similar issue:

I need to send a string terminated with “\r\n”, but it appears that socket\_send\_line only appends \n. I have tried concatenating “\r” to the end of my string, but the socket\_send\_line function seems to add an extra \. \<\< even right here, i had to type two backslashes to get it to display one. this is expected with escape sequences, but undesired when sending byte strings

edit: i found this today, havent tried it yet: [TCP socket line terminator](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/tcp-socket-line-terminator/5806)
