Does telling you to never, ever use Windows count as assistance? No
matter, I use it too...
Anyway, here are some of the elements you have to work with:
- The "find" command
It has an option ("-print0") to print file names with NUL termination
instead of the usual newline termination.
- The "xargs" command
It has an option ("-0"), a counterpart to find's -print0, that makes
it read file names with NUL termination
- The "unix2dos" command
This does the basic text file format conversion.
Check 'em out.
