I am dealing with DOS text files and need to output DOS text files. This
scenario is not about
converting a file in DOS format to UNIX format; or read a file line by line. It
relates to using
Unix commands and manipulating a dos file and staying in a dos format
How do you read each line in a while loop?
Do I need to change the IFS or use dos2unix?
How does a Bash script output a DOS text file?
I found dos2unix, but I do not know how to properly implement it. The following
Bash code is a
work-in- progress. Please let me know if a more efficient approach exists.
while read line
do
i=0
echo "LINE -> $line"
echo "i -> $i"
MP3[i++]=$(awk '/^.*\.mp3/ { print $1}')
CRC[i++]=$(awk '/^.*\.mp3/ { print $3}')
echo "MP3[i] -> $MP3[i]"
echo "CRC[i] -> $CRC[i]"
done < <(dos2unix "$FILE")
#do some stuff then
unix2dos "$FILE"
The cygwin console returns the following error. My syntax is not correct.
FileRenamer3.sh: line 132: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
FileRenamer3.sh: line 132: ` done < <
(dos2unix "$FILE")'
