dos2unix command

Shivkumar — Mon, 30 May 2005 15:03:45 GMT

Hey Guys,

There was a command "dos2unix" to convert windows created text/ascii files into unix format on some non HP-UX.

I am not sure whether similar command exist on hpux 11i.

Can someone point out on this ?

Thanks in advance.
Shiv

Hi,

check the man pages of dos2ux/ux2dos, dos2unix is solaris.

Shiv,

On HP-UX 11i (HP-UX sysname B.11.11 U 9000/800)you find dos2ux and ux2dos in directory: /usr/bin/

Hi Shiv,

install recode e.g from:
http://hpux.asknet.de/hppd/hpux/Gnu/recode-3.6/

try
# recode lat1..IBM-PC/CR-LF

If you can not find the command, or need to process a file on windows/dos, then in a pinch you can roll your own with perl:

ux2dos:
$ perl -pe 'chomp;$_.="\r\n"' tmp.ux > x.dos

dos2ux:
$ perl -pe 's/\r$//' tmp.dos > tmp.ux

Hi Folks:

Why resurrect a 2+ year old thread when it already had a solution?!

Good question James!

I guess Paul made us do it?!

Sorry 'bout that, I normally pay attention to the dates and try to avoid redundant replies.

Hoi Paul, had je niet gezien dat er al een oplossing was? Groetjes, Hein.
