ux2dos

[Ahmed Samy Amer]

Hi Admins,

I have program that generates a unix format text file, and i want to convert this file to dos format without using ux2dos, but instead i write the characters for line feed and carriage return directly using my program (what ux2dos does) to be readable by Windows.

Thanks.

Try doscp and in /usr/bin see ls dos*

As far as i know ux2dos just adds ^M to the end of the lines and ^Z to the end of the file. So you should be able to do something like:

sed -e 's/$/^M/' unixfile > dosfile
echo "^Z" >> dosfile

This should add the necessary sequences to your textfile. Note that ^M is one character - and not to characters ^ and M.

Hope this helps. Stefan

Thank you all,

Your answers helped me a lot, i added \r\n to my program that generate the text files after each line, so files generated on UNIX can be read directly using NFS on WINDOWS.

Thank you all, Best of Luck.
