i did much the same thing in perl (see attached) i'm not a mac fan so i called it "antimac" :)
it should take a file that's been polluted with mac carraige-returns (\r in perl) and replace it all with (\n)'s. _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer the more law and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be. - lao-tsu ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 11:35 AM Subject: Re: More on apples text files | In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on | 09/06/2002 at 09:48 AM, | Blake Thornton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: | | >I'm running into problems with sharing text files between macs and my | >linux machine.
