[snip] Instead of installing an extra application you could cat your files through sed. >From http://www.student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed1line.txt: TEXT CONVERSION AND SUBSTITUTION: # IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format sed 's/.$//' # assumes that all lines end with CR/LF sed 's/^M$//' # in bash/tcsh, press Ctrl-V then Ctrl-M sed 's/\x0D$//' # gsed 3.02.80, but top script is easier # IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format sed "s/$/`echo -e \\\r`/" # command line under ksh sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under bash sed "s/$/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under zsh sed 's/$/\r/' # gsed 3.02.80 # IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format sed "s/$//" # method 1 sed -n p # method 2 # IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format # Can only be done with UnxUtils sed, version 4.0.7 or higher. # Cannot be done with other DOS versions of sed.

You should use xargs in this case. Greetings, Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
