+-- Fernando Gleiser [freebsd] [22-05-03 17:05 -0300]: | Here's my problem: I have a FreeBSD server running an aplication. | The operators of the aplication (read: people who doesn't know Unix) | need to upload some files to the server, and the aplication reads them. | | The files are flat ASCII. | They where using FTP in ASCII mode for that, but they wanted it | to be "even easier", so I set up Samba on the server and they just | drag and drop the files. The problem is with the CRLF conversion, | because the app needs the files the unix way, but they upload them | the DOS way. | | I need an automatic way to handle the conversion, since there is nobody | who knows Unix there, and I can't tell them "run such command". They | have no shell access. | | | I was thinking of writing a little script which runs from cron, converts | the files and then moves them to the final dir, but maybe there is a way of | doing it from samba itself. | | Does anybody have any idea? | | Thanks in advance and sorry for the OT. | | | Fer | ------------------------------ col -bx < file > newfile This will remove ^M from the file.
