(Copied here from an IBM internal discussion because I should have come here first anyway:)
Anyone have an idiom for deblocking and translating a file in ASCII that may have either or both of CR and LF (*), and may be split into records, without unnecessarily buffering the whole file? The possibility of null records that I might want to preserve makes this particularly confusing to think through. (*) in either order--I know LFCR is rare, but I'm positive I've run into it on some goofy old system, probably some BBS 30 years ago ... | deblock linend 0a | split 0d | ... was good enough for the application at hand, but I was hoping someone might already have worked through getting it right. ¬R
