There is a utility out there that will convert unix-style end-of-lines (LF) to dos-style (CR/LF)...
Just for giggles, I'm trying to write a perl script to do this... Here's what I've tried... while (<INFILE>) { $line = $_; $line=~tr/\012/\015\012/; print OUTFILE ("$line\n"); } The problem is that the output, when viewed with notepad, contains inappropriate line breaks... The same input file, when converted using the unix utility unix2dos, converts "properly." This leads me to believe that I'm missing something obvious here.... I'm not asking for the answer per se, but perhaps a pointer? ---------- Ron Powell Senior IT Analyst & Network Administrator gomembers, Inc.
