Hi, While installing cygwin, it asks in the wizard whether file format is unix or dos. What is this for ?
I mainly am going to use cygwin for PERL. Now, all my files are created in unix and I just ftp them over onto the windows machine. Since matching is used in perl script, I am wondering if some of the input text files will end up with some extra characters At the end of each line which can throw the perl matching off ? For example if my expected output that I am storing in a file is the following string: Output Found Correctly Then if I ftp such a file over from unix and expect it to work on windows which File format should I be selecting ? (I am using word boundary around the expected output).
