wanted: windows command line executable to convert EOL CR<->CRLF

(1/1)

tinjaw:
My Google Fu is dull today and I can't seem to focus it down to finding what I want.

I'm using a DOS batch file to do some stuff and I want to call a command line tool that will take all my ASCII files and convert the EOLs from windows format to unix format (and vise versa).

It's been a while since I needed to use this kind of utility, but here's a pointer to one (that I haven't tested) that comes with source, so if you have any problems, you can fix them:

CRLF from Horst Schaeffer's freeware collection PBATS - a 16-bit DOS program, but worked well for me on XP.  A quick check shows it appears to work well under Vista Home Premium as well.
CRLF 1.3 (c) Horst Schaeffer
Filter, makes CR+LF for lines terminated by CR or LF only
Options:
 /C     lines to be terminated by CR only
 /L     ... by LF only
 /T     cut trailing blanks
 /E[n]  remove empty lines [if more than n]

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.  :Thmbsup:
