I know someone who wrote a perl program to fix this that i have lying around somewhere, however, I also know that if you have it you have a posix os which has a VASTLY more efficient tool built in, so i'll give you that instead: dos2unix <file> use that. dos2unix is related to two other tools: unix2dos and mac2unix mac2unix isn't always on posix systems anymore, the other two are. you can man them. > > > > Armando Gomez Guajardo > Process Engineer > Work Ph 956 547 6438 > Beeper 956 768 4070 > -Josh _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
