One additional thing I'd like to say, if people are considering possibly making a decision based off the line ending of the first line of the file: it's worth bearing in mind that it's quite possible for a file to end up with mixed line endings. Most editors are at least smart enough to convert the whole file to their preffered format, but not all, and there's always the possibility of nastiness like: C:\TEMP> echo "extra line" >> file_with_unix_line_endings
It's yet another special case to think of: "Why my scrpt not wrok?" "Because it is on a binary mount && you didn't set igncr && you have CRLF line endings on some lines && the first line doesn't have a CRLF" It'll be one of those things that works 99% of the time for 99% of people, and by the time it bites someone they'll have forgotton all about this issue and will be very confused. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
