I can't figure out a good way to test this but fwiw I belive that you can specify the mac newline using hexidecimal equivients I had to parse some html that was built on a mac tool that had what I assume to be the same cars and finally found them to be replaceable in perl using perl -p -e 's/\x0D/\x0A/g; back after a little looking. This is convoluted as hell, and I am sure there is a better way to do this but I think I have succesfully worked through this I was able to let echo spit out the x0d which is the carriage return see if this fits: Of course once I started playing with it I found the old vi ctrl-V ctrl-M trick works too $ touch icon`echo -en "\r"` $ ls ic* icon? $ ls icon ls: icon: No such file or directory $ ls icon^M #this was done with ctrl-V and ctrl-M Should work! icon? #this is kind of cool, use xxd to see the hexdump $ ls icon^M |xxd 0000000: 6963 6f6e 0d0a icon.. # the 0a is the newline put there by ls I belive $ touch icon1 $ ls icon* icon? icon1 $ rm icon^M $ ls icon* icon1 HTH Bret _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
