Reimplementing it fully properly in Perl is, while certainly doable, a bigger task that it may seem at first glance. If there's already a utility avilable to do exactly what you want to do, why reinvent it? Some assumption that your version of this particular wheel will be extra super duper round? Good luck with that... :-) -- Chris Devers \?Çfê ¦¸# -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response
RE: How to do dos2unix for entire directory
Check out the File::Find module. It should come standard with your Perl distribution. -Original Message- From: Santosh Reddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 11:02 AM To: 'Perl Beginners' Subject: How to do dos2unix for entire directory Hi All, I want to convert all the files which are in dos format to UNIX format. We have the command in UNIX called dos2unix but it takes file as input. But I would like give a directory as an argument to the command and it should convert all the dos files into UNIX format. And it should keep the UNIX files as it is. In a dos file we have a ^M character at the end of each line. We have to remove this character. Please send a sample code, if you can give full working code that is appreciated.
