I have several perl scripts saved to my pc I need to convert to linux-able ascii so I can transfer them to my local linux system via disks or tape. I now get the following error message when I copy from my pc to diskette to linux:
> illegal character \015 (carriage return) at admin.cgi line 2 > (Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a network transfer?) I know it's because the file is in pc binary instead of true ascii (despite being saved as a text file). My question is this, is there any way I can convert the file to true ascii while it's still on my pc then copy it to floppy then copy it to linux, without the need to ftp the file between one system and the other? Thanks! Andre
