Well, then, whichever way. We're drifting off the original topic, which was 'should d2u-and-friends (or equivalents) be added to coreutils?'. Can we address Mike's original question now, before he gets completely discouraged by this side-track? :-)
Personally, I think dos2unix is such a simple and seldomly used hack to write in one line of sed that I don't see the point of it being included[0]. To wit: cat FILE | sed 's/ $//' # CR/LF to LF. cat FILE | sed 's/$/\r/' # LF to CR/LF. Also, should other types of line-endings be handled? Like for example CR-only line-endings (old Mac format IIRC). [0]: Many of the things in coreutils can be written using one line of sed, like tac, basename, dirname, but these are much more general tools than dos2unix; compare the number of times you do dirname or tac with dos2unix. IMHO. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
