Greetings, Leonid Mironov!
I am trying to feed the output of wmic.exe - a windows console program, to
cygwin bash script.
wmic.exe produces UTF16LE output with BOM and CR/LFs, so I am using dos2unix to
convert it.
The problem is that when I write wmic.exe output to a file and then use
dos2unix to convert this file
I get the expected result - ASCII file with LFs, I get the same result when I
pipe this file to dos2unix,
but when I pipe wmic.exe output directly to dos2unix I get ASCII file with
CR/LFs and an extra empty line.
Cygwin is up to date, windows 10. What gives?
You don't need d2u. Use `… | iconv -f UTF16LE | tr -d '\r'`
(Don't even need -t for iconv - it assumes current locale settings as
default source/destination encoding.)
d2u -ul converts from utf-16le to utf-8
When I run wmic under mintty or | less it looks fine to me e.g.:
$ wmic baseboard list full | less # optional
but the output could benefut from \r stripping:
$ wmic baseboard list full | tr -d '\r' | cat -A | less
