Re: [cobalt-developers] Mac -> Unix file types

["Jim Ehrlich" <jehrlich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Files moved via CDROM, not ftp.
This line, in my conversion script, does the trick for me.

	cat $file | tr '\r' '\n'  > fileunix	#temp file

It's based on an earlier suggestion:
        $ perl -n -e 'tr/\r/\n; print $_;' FILE > NEWFILE,
which actually should be
        $ perl -n -e 'tr/\r/\n/; print $_;' FILE > NEWFILE
i.e. translating \r returns to \n newlines.

Thanks, 
Jim
