Solution 1:
~~~~~~~~~~
By all probabilities you have it installed on our system
already. In case you have a standard workstation model
installed both dos2unix and unix2dos should be in your
/usr/bin dir.
Solution 2:
~~~~~~~~~~
In case not, check if you have recode installed (Should
be there by default installation).In which case add the
following lines to your /etc/profile, or .profile, and
you have the same commands available to you:
----------------------<snip>--------------------------
alias unix2dos='recode lat1..ibmpc'
alias dos2unix='recode ibmpc..lat1'
----------------------<snip>-------------------------
Solution 3:
~~~~~~~~~~
Usually for most Linux users, it is dos2unix, which is
the main problem. DOS edit, and few other editors can
read unix text files and puts in an ASCII 13 during
saving, and the unix2dos functions therefore more of a
conceived requirement than otherwise. This little two
liner bash script using the "tr" programs will do a
dos2unix text file conversion.
Note: Save as d2u and do a "chmod +x d2u" and place it
along default path (e.g. /usr/local/bin) for use.
-----------------------<snip>-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
[ -z $1 ] &&
{ echo "d2u - converts DOS text to Unix."; echo \
"Syntax: d2u (dosfile) unixfile"; exit }
cat $1|tr -d '\015'
-----------------------<snip>-------------------------
Solution 4:
~~~~~~~~~~
