\_ SMTP quoth Simper, Brian D on 3/5/2003 10:31 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ \_ A co-worker sent a set of development files to me containing source code \_ and scripts. Unfortunately, he routed it through his Windows desktop and \_ all of the text files have the standard Dos end-of-line markers. Bash \_ won't interpret them correctly. Is there a simple way to convert between \_ Dos EOL and UNIX/Linux EOL? perl -i.bak -e 's/\r\n$/\n/' file if I remember the stanza right. :-) David
