A binary file usually starts out with a hex 1Ah character in the DOS world
at least. Other clues will be many characters with values in the range of
90H-FFH inclusive. Unix has a file utility whose source code is available
for examination and it's well worth the abundance of file format

John,
Its a linux project (There are libs, executables, scripts, txt, sources and
objects.) about 90MB.
I did checkout using a svn program under Win32 and when I took a look to
sources and scripts on linux, all those files have CR/LF.

That depends on what his "binary" files are, and on how important speed is.
As the files he wants to convert are all "DOS" fi

Use it to detect DOS files. From the man page:
If the lines of a file are terminated by CR, CRLF, or NEL, instead of
the Unix-standard LF, this will be reported.
Or parse file's
Fabian,
Thanks for the info. I like use scripting but I prioritize the safe way.
I think that find / flip is safe, clear, easy, dificult to make a mistake
(few arg)
and save time.
Thanks,
Luis

Instead of installing an extra application you could cat your files
through sed.

Use it to detect DOS files. From the man page:

No extra filter is needed.
Thanks FuziOK !, I guess its a very good way to do.
Thanks to Greg and Matthew tor the sugestions.

Write script using find to recurse, file to detect binaries, and dos2unix
to convert text files.

Hi all, could any body give me a hand with this stuff ?
Im trying to find a good way to convert dos files (CR-LF) to Unix files (LF).
This should be safe and recursive but it should not change any binary file.
The files arent large but there are millon.
Should use flip to do it ?
