Given a folder of text files is it possible to search which one are
of a particular line break type - say Mac Classic (CR)?
If your directory is ³~/temp/textfiles/², run this script in
Terminal to change carriage return to linefeed in all the files it
contains:
cd; cd temp/textfiles; perl -pi.bak -e "s~\r~\n~g" *
The script will create a backup of the original.

One warning. If you want to change CR to LF (as in this suggestion),
you have to watch out for the CR+LF Line ending since just changing
CR to LF will make this LF+LF. I am not saying that you will
encounter that line ending combination but just that it is a valid
one. A folder with a mix of Linux/Unix, Mac, and Windows text files
can contain all 3 line endings and you have to be aware of this if
you want to change one specific line ending to another.
