Here's one of the postings made by Gary Chrysler <tcg@ime.net>: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CUT unix2dos.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -pi # # Convert Unix text file to DOS file format. Conversion is done in-place. # # Usage: unix2dos unixfile ... print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0)); s/$/\015/; # tack on ^M s/\n/\n\032/ if (eof); # DOS ^Z at end of file. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CUT unix2dos.pl -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CUT dos2unix.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -pi # # Convert DOS text file to Unix file format. Conversion is done in-place. # # Usage: dos2unix dosfile ... print STDERR "Converting \"$ARGV\" ...\n" if (eof || ($. == 0)); s/\015$//; # strip ^M from end of line. s/\032$//; # strip ^Z if we see it (which'll be at EOF). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- CUT dos2unix.pl here is a couple of perl scripts that I use! I forgot who wrote em, I sure do thank em! -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg...
