Hello, When I create a script file, it always displays with an extra blank line after each line, if I open it in a Windows-based text editor. Someone said that I could enter: unix2dos filename_unix_format new file_dos_format The goal is that the file will look nice in Notepad. When I telnet into my java box, what do I enter to convert the filename to DOS format ? |

| hello, it's true that there is a unix2dos() external command in some shells, and to check whether you've it in the path type : unix2dos [CR] to check that it is present but out of the $path, type : whereis unix2dos [CR] or (depending on distro) locate unix2dos [CR] if those fail miserably, you can resort to slow but efficient "find" command : find / -name unix2dos -print Also, note that running those commands as "root" does give you higher chances to find the command. Else, you'll see a lot of "access denied" erros for subdirectories of "/". Now, if you don't find the unix2dos script on your system, you can play with "sed" to replace [CRLF] with [LF] The best solution IMHO is to use a Windows text editor able to prevent single LF end of line markers. I can think of two : - Wordpad (not Notepad) - NoteTab Light - UltraEdit or other overkill monsters (syntax highlighting, etc) The two last ones can even convert enf-of-lines between systems or keep the original file format. This last option is definitely the best for you. regards |
