I have a string value from a user input box. I have to figure out if last char is a enter key (line feed).

Thats the code. Here I am checking if last char has a whitespace. Now I also have to check if last char is enter key (carriage return or line feed). How can i do this?

var txt = $get("<%= txtUserText.ClientID %>");
if (txt.value.substring(txt.value.length -1) !== ' ' || <checkifLastCharIsEnterKey>) 
  //my code to take action

**I don't think i need a keypress or keyup event because this above piece of code is not invoked at the time of user input.
