[wplug] Converting Line Terminations

[Emilio Xavier Esposito]

If you are referring to the ^M at the end of Windows files in *nix try this
c-code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  char s[200];
  int i;
  while( gets(s) != NULL ){
    for(i=0;i<strlen(s);i++){
      if( strcmp(&s[i],"\r") != 0)
 putchar(s[i]);
    }
    putchar('\n');
  }
}


It should remove the carriage returns and make things better.

Subject: [wplug] Converting Line Terminations


Hello,

I end up having to work with a lot of text files on both *nix and WinNT.
The end of line terminations is differnt between the two of them.  Is there
a simple command I can use from a bash prompt that will convert between the
two?  (It's not a big deal, more just a slight annoyance.)

James already gave me one suggestion, but I can't seem to remember what is
was -- sorry James.

Thanks,
jaaron
